I always wanted to slide down a laundry chute. My grandma had one and I probably thought about it a thousand times...probably would have broken a leg....heh heh. I think about it even now, when I couldn't fit in a laundry chute if my life depended on it and I am resigned to the fact that I will never have the experience I wondered about.
If you inventory the things in life that you have always longed for, longed to do, longed to say and for whatever reason were resigned to it not happening...I think there are a few ways to consider it. You can look at a situation like mine above and say, "while I never did it, I still think that was pretty smart." Or there can be situations where you wish you would have said something different or talked to that one person you couldn't talk to. Ultimately, I think that the best thing is to have some of each...it keeps you balanced and reminds you that you made those mistakes, avoided those mistakes and took risks when the rewards made it worth it.
And to that point, I can tell you affirmatively that the rewards of well considered risk can indeed be worth it.
Be excellent to each other!
