Looking back at how you have dealt with what life’s circumstances throw at you, you come to realize that there is so much you looked at and thought ‘Never’…”I will never do that or I will never be in that situation”. Then what happened…why did it eventually happen to you regardless of your adamant stance a few months/years ago? I like to think that ‘never’ isn’t a word…it’s a truth that should not be misused else it bites!
Sitting in a pub some many moons ago, a close friend of mine proclaimed ‘Never’ to give in to the thought of one woman for life…a year later he was tying the knot with his newly found love. We were happy for him, but then again joked at how quickly we forget. How often have we heard or better yet said the words “I will never drink like that again!”, only to find ourselves with the same hungover a week later?
I believe that we sometimes let our current situation or emotions speak for us and it never really registers in our mind what we really mean. That way when it happens again, it’s never a realization that “oh shit”, I did what I vowed never to do.
The lesson here is, however much human we are and are not perfect, we need to learn to make conscious decisions and “live without regret”. We need to know that whatever decisions we make, they eventually have a ripple effect for a long time to come and we should be ready to live with that. Just never say NEVER!
