Ascended Mogul - Regret over Wasting Too Much Time in my Life

[thegreatgoogoo]

Hey

I’ve been listening to Ascended Mogul for 2 weeks. During this time I’ve been finding solutions to not only my present problems, but also my past problems.

It hurts me so much to know that these solutions were right under my nose & only required 1 or 2 tweaks to come up with back when I had those problems, & I feel so stupid for not being able to think of those solutions back then.

For example, I didn’t have a social life as a teenager because I was scared of getting in trouble with my parents or losing focus on school if I did so. What I didn’t realize then is I could’ve set an alarm on my phone as to when I would have to leave, & I could’ve started small with places my parents were comfortable with me going to (e.g. my neighbourhood park) & expanded little by little into different neighbourhoods, & eventually different cities, from there.

I feel an immense amount of regret & frustration because I feel like I’ve wasted over a decade thinking that I could only do things 1 certain way when in reality, had I been more flexible & open to new ideas, I could’ve achieved a lot more in every aspect of my life than I have.

Have any of you experienced this, & how do you guys deal with this regret?

Don’t beat yourself over it. Most of our solution are right under our noses, if not all, that’s why its difficult to see them, unless you have one of those tiny cute noses

Overprotective, helicopter parents? I used to sneak out and say fuck it.

You will achieve even more so. Somehow, these things will shape you into a better person. Learn and move forward.

Forget it about it. It will just weigh you down, an unnecessary burden, and a useless one at it. The best way in my opinion is to realize what you’re regretful about, acknowledge it, feel it if you want, and learn from it. Don’t repeat your regrets. You now have at your disposal a reminder for the present and the future. Stop thinking too much, don’t make a habit out of it.

In other news: congratulations: you have become aware on a truth that many billions in this ocean are not. Live your life as you want, you are the master of your play, and not an unaware puppet awaiting orders. Keep liberating your mind as you are now doing.

I hope this helped out.

@thegreatgoogoo I can empathize with you so much. From running Dragon Reborn it quickly became very obvious how so much of the drama and difficulty in the past was entirely my fault and could have been easily avoided. It breaks my heart
