I have had too much on my mind lately and haven’t been to well either, which brings me to the point of my reflections for today. It is important to work but what at what cost?
Maybe what I say doesn’t make sense to you. I quit my job at the peak of my career as it didn’t make sense to me that I get promoted to be a Manager in a huge IT company when my son stood behind the grills of a day care waiting for his mom to take him home late in the evening after all his friends had gone home hours ago.
The look on his face said it all, he wanted mommy and he didn’t care if she had she loads of money or not. I decided that no career was worth it. I wanted to see my kids grow up, I wanted to see them do well. Twenty two years later here I am thanking God for having made the right decisions. My sons will be doctors and specialist doctors but more than that they are lovely humans.
Life is fragile , the past is behind us, the future is uncertain, all we have is the present. We need to make the right choices in life. I believe in life with no regrets, I often make tough decisions which seems foolish to others, but its my life and I know it better than them. I have no regrets.

I love your photo, yes, I regret that I didn’t take the path in my life to do what it is best to do and make a living, ie nursing but then I didn’t know that that was best for me.
I tried to make it as an artist but I found a very tight closed circle reserved for rich kids.
Artists never make enough money to live on, but are millionaires when they are dead.
Since I was young I have learned not to feel disappointed and not regret anything, including all the mistakes I have done in the past. I even feel proud of myself because I dare to change and I can.
I can totally relate to what you say, I feel proud too sometimes that I’ve been able to withstand the mockery and still be me.
I assume that everyone in his life has done something that regrets.
True we all make mistakes but there is no point in living in regrets, don’t you think?
We probably all have some regrets. But our priorities are what matter in life.
Honestly i have no regrets, I accept my mistakes and move on.
All congratulations, dear friend … not everything in money … I still hold this principle….I have not regretted my decisions until now, even though they were not all right
Exactly we are not superhuman to be right all the time, but being ready to accept the mistake and move ahead matters.
I have some regrets and it is hard to let them go.
I am sorry you feel that way Gramps, but letting go is peace.
Never ever regret but moving ahead with positive mind , Yes I strongly believe there is failure a part of our life.
Hmm well said , that is what I believe in too.
family life is very important
you have seen your children grow, something that many mothers can not say
Congratulations
Thank you txatxy, when i look at them I feel I have done my best.
I think you should not feel bad. My wife also quit her job when our daughter was about to come in this world. She has no regrets leaving a well paying job.
Nope Suny, I have never had a day of regret on these grounds, Honestly that is one of my best decisions in life. And kudos to your wife.
Everyone should make their own decisions, no matter what others think and comment on. Yours was good of which you are a proud mother today because your sons will be doctors.
I am happy for my sons living up to their potential, but I am happy that they are considerate and lovely humans the most.
