Don't You Think?
Don't regret your life! Time is very valuable! Sometimes life throws you into a situation that you think won't turn out well but turns out to be the very best thing that's ever happened to you.
Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. I know how hard it is because looking back if I was back where I had been I think I would cry. I seriously believe that if I was still working where I had been working for years I would have ended up with cancer or something equally bad. Some things in life are not actually worth the money that you get paid. You can get paid less but enjoy life more and not be so stressed out.
You can seek employment that is flexible or that more fits who you are. You can start your own business and be your own boss. Some people are fortunate that they get paid to do what they love but not everyone has that. Life is what you make it but you need to take the first step or you might get booted where the decision is not yours.
I stayed too long at a job that I know was not for me. I dreaded going into work every day that I had to. Now my life looks very different but in a very good way. I wish I had done this years ago but too many people out there are in the mindset that life has to look a certain way and you buy into it but really you don't. Live outside the box! I think it is worth it!
