So, this is it? To not have regrets, do whatever you feel like doing?

I'd have to disagree. I know lots of people that went this route and ended up regreting how they screwed up their lifes.

What is hard about life is that what you want is not always clear cut. Sometimes you do things that you think you want, but then time passes and you change your mind. When what you've done is something unimportant, that's ok, but other times those things have a huge impact on your future. That's when you start regreting doing everything you wanted.

There is no such thing as "do this" and you wont have regrets. That's just a romantic idea.



My conclusion is that to have no regrets, you gotta act more, fear less, and ignore the status quo. After all, we only live once (until proven otherwise)


In other words, YOLO?
