No Regrets
Imagine tomorrow is 1 January 2027.
You’ve just woken up on the first day of a new year.
Now ask yourself one question:
“What do I regret not doing in 2026?”
Maybe you’ll say:
I should have started the business.
I should have gone to the gym.
I should have told them how I felt.
I should have called my parents more often.
I should have read more books.
I should have travelled.
I should have taken the risk.
I should have stopped making excuses.
I should have learned a new skill.
I should have been more disciplined.
I should have started investing instead of waiting.
I should have built an emergency fund.
I should have journaled every trade.
I should have followed my trading plan instead of my emotions.
I should have stopped revenge trading.
I should have focused on consistency instead of chasing quick profits.
I should have improved my risk management.
I should have spent more time learning than scrolling.
Write every regret down.
Don’t hold back.
Now close your eyes.
Open them again.
It’s 1 August 2026.
You haven’t reached New Year’s Day yet.
You still have five months.
Five months to start.
Five months to finish.
Five months to apologize.
Five months to build.
Five months to invest in yourself.
Five months to master your craft.
Five months to become someone your future self is proud of.
Your list of regrets has become your to-do list.
Because the best way to enter a new year isn’t with resolutions.
It’s with fewer regrets.
So don’t wait until January to wish you had started.
Start now.
Make sure that when 1 January finally arrives, you look at your list and smile…
because there’s nothing left to regret.
