It Is Time I Got On With My Life

I have always looked back and wondered what my life would be like if I done things differently in the past. I constantly put myself down for dropping out of college. I wonder what it would be like if I hadn't wasted my days partying and throwing away the opportunity to get an education. I think of what I would be doing and how great things would be if I had focused on the things that really mattered and actually finished my degree. I think of how much more I could do now if I hadn't gotten myself into so much debt. I think of where I would be if I had never gone inactive after I was baptized in the Church. How much easier would my life be if I hadn't done sooooooooo many stupid things! It's one mistake after another. One regret after another! and I can't do anything about it now!

This past Sunday at church, Amanda gave the lesson and spoke of letting things go and just go on with your life. At the fireside that evening, the speakers touched on this as well. It's amazing to me how the Lord knows exactly what we need to hear! I really cannot change anything by sitting here thinking of what I could have done differently and wondering what it would be like now. The only things I have is today and I can only hope and prepare for tomorrow! I need to stop focusing on the past and putting myself down for things that I simply cannot change. I've already screwed up and I need to deal with the consequences now. As much as that sucks, I cannot avoid it! It's there. I'm only 23! I often feel like I am getting old and I'm running out of time. It's too late to do this or that is what I often tell myself. But really, its not too late! I can go back to school and I can eventually pay off all my debt and just forget of all the things that I can. I can do anything I set my mind to. I just need to stop looking at the past and get working on the future. It is time I got on with my life and forget the past!
