I have not really planned to take a trip this year, yet I found myself packing anyway. And off I went, dreading it. I was on another trip.
I booked my reservation on "wish I had airlines."
I didn't check my bags - everyone carries their baggage on this airline - and had to drag it for what seemed like miles in the regret city airport. And I could see that people from all over the world were there with me, limping along the weight of bags they had packaged themselves.
I caught a cab to Last Resort Hotel after alighting from the plane; the driver taking the whole trip backward, looking over his shoulder. And there I found the ballroom where my event would be held: The Annual Pity Party. As I checked in, I saw that all my old colleagues were on the guest list.
The Done Family: coulda, woulda and shoulda.
Both of the opportunities: missed and lost.
All the yesterdays: they were too many to count, but all would have sad stories to tell or share. Shattered dreams and broken promises would be there too, along with their friends; Don't blame me and Couldn't help it.
And of course, hours and hours of entertainment would be provided by the renowned storyteller: It's their fault.
As I prepared to settle in for long night. I realized that one person had the power to send all those people home and break up the party: ME.
All I have to do is to return to the present and welcome the New day ! - If you have found yourself getting on a flight to the city of regret, recognize it's a trip you booked yourself and you can cancel it at anytime - without penalty or fee. But you are the only one who can.
All the yesterdays cannot make one tomorrow. And rosy thoughts about the future cannot exist when your mind is full of yesterdays' worries, regrets, pains, and unhappiness. According to Mike Murdock, "There is no future in the past." So stop looking at where you have been and start looking at where you can be. Stop poisoning your future with the pain of the past instead make a memory for tomorrow by welcoming a new day.
To your ultimate success, MA.
