You can choose to focus on what you have or what you don’t.
You can look back and see life fading, perhaps a healthy 20-year-old self doing back flips off the high dive, you can see the vigor or the carefree self smiling. Hakuna matada, right? And by choosing this path of regret you also miss the path you are on.
When we are intentionally focused on the way things are, you then learn to appreciate what you still have, what you can still offer, and what is too come.
So much goes over our head when we are not paying attention.
