Difficult conversations

“You need to have the conversations that are holding you back or they will become your regrets“

I was born into a very deserving family. My father always pushed his children as much as he could to get maximum education. Still, I’m the only one of my siblings who loves learning. Last year, after facing really hard times and giving up on a lot of things i held dear, i decided to rediscover myself. I felt a need for self-awareness. I felt like i didn’t completely understood what i was. Perhaps, may be it was because most of the time life has been a game of survival for me. So, for that reason i started extensive learning. I started reading books, which was the hardest part for me. Recently, i have been listening to a lot online lectures, courses and pod-casts for my personal growth and to learn about the experiences of some really successful people. 

One thing that almost every successful person talks about is that failure is not about trying something new and then losing but its about not trying at all. One of the most important lessons i learned was that execution is a lot more important than having good ideas. We all have ideas, some bad, some good and even some great ideas but the problem is that most of the time we are either too scared to act upon them or we try them and quit too soon. As a result the ideas we don’t execute or the conversations we believe we should have had but we didn’t because we were afraid about the consequences, turns out to be the biggest regrets of our lives. 

My biggest regret in life is that i should have been more expressive about my feelings. If only I would have had those conversations with my loved ones and friends, my life could have been entirely different right now. I believe, many times such conversations are the one holding us back from executing because our mind keeps us stuck in a cycle of possibilities and regrets. This is the reason why we don’t give our 100% in the work that can have profound impact not just on our lives but on the lives of the people who are associated with us. Having these difficult conversations would not only liberates us from an endless cycle of fear, regrets and possibilities but also give us strength to move on with our lives. 

Eventually, we have to realize the fact that no one can move forward in life with a burden of regrets on their shoulders. So, to move forward in life and to actually live, we have to stop regretting and start focusing on more positive aspects of our lives. To move forward we have to keep learning and growing.
