What I Have Today Matters More Than What I Lost.
I have learned to experience life as it is today, without carrying the burden of what happened yesterday. I no longer want to spend my time thinking about what I once had, what I lost, or how different my life could have been.
Whenever such thoughts arise, I look at the other side of my life. I think about what I have achieved till date and what I lacked in the past. This comparison makes me realise that I am a better person today than I was yesterday.
Even materially, I used to wonder whether different decisions would have given me a more luxurious, happier and peaceful life. Perhaps they would have, perhaps not.
But when I look at my life today, I realise something beautiful. I have the luxuries I once desired, along with something I could not have purchased with money: wisdom.
Today, I experience life as it is, with everything I have become.
