Forrest Gump once said, “Life can be like a box of chocolates—you never know what you're going to get.” But you know what? You do find out after taking a bite. Life is kind of like that. Sometimes, we feel like those chocolates in the box, the ones that get bitten into. Oh, you didn’t like my creamy center? Took one bite and tossed me aside, huh? Off to try something else that suits your taste better. Ever gone back for a piece of chocolate you tossed, though? Maybe it didn’t taste great at first, but the aftertaste got you thinking.
People love to say, “Live a life of no regrets, no second-guessing.” But to me, that’s just saying, “I don’t reflect on anything.” Really? Every choice you made was perfect? No second thoughts, huh? That means when life throws the same situation at you again—and trust me, it will—you’ll make the same dumb mistakes. No regrets, right? No second-guessing, right?
The sun rises and sets every day, bringing light and darkness with it. And guess what? Whatever’s hiding in the dark will eventually be seen in the light. Time reveals all things. We all have that light and dark side within us. The question is, which side are you feeding? The path to growth and ascension isn’t about ignoring one side or the other—it’s about embracing both and learning to let them coexist. When you do that, you’ll start to understand your soul’s purpose.
Life isn’t easy. It’s a classroom for the soul, and the lessons? They’ll hit you hard. They’ll break your heart sometimes. But here’s the real test: If you’re wrong, do you have the courage to admit it? To make things right? Probably not, if you’re one of those “no regrets, no second-guessing” types.
Here’s something else to remember: Nothing in life is permanent—not even heartbreak. The tough situations you find yourself in aren’t meant to trap you in despair forever. You’re not supposed to spend your life singing “woe is me” with a bottle in your hand, channeling your inner Tupac and yelling Fuck the world. Life is designed to sharpen you, to toughen you up. It’s here to push you to find your strength and confidence, to wake up every day and keep going.
So, stop waiting for the perfect moment to chase that dream. You’ve already got everything you need inside you. Get up. Get moving. What the hell are you waiting for?
