Ten years younger ||Changing the narratives

Greetings!

Though, there's things that can never be possible, but if eventually some impossibilities become possible, then it would really be of a great advantage for someone like me to right my wrongs and make a very pathway for my future.

Waking up in the morning to discover I'm ten years or a decade younger, I would see this as a great opportunity for me. Also, I would see this as a second chance that has presented itself to me to corrects my past regrets and focus on the future.

Though, humans are bond to make mistakes and no matter what chance or opportunity that's presented to a man, man would still in one way or the other misuse the opportunity.

The reason I'm saying this is that, looking at the past years which has given birth to our today, one would discover that man is still making the same mistake that wad made in the past in this present moment. One thing I have got to know is that, the same opportunity that was presented to us in the past years is still the same opportunity we human are still enjoying now, but we are not even making of the current opportunities presented to us.

So, until we realized that everyday comes with its opportunities, it's then we would realize that we don't need to go back to our past and correct the error of the past as we can still make use of the good opportunities at our disposal now to make a better future for ourselves.

Having said that, I would like to reflect on the topic of the weekly prompt which is about living ten years younger.

As for me, if I have the opportunity to live ten years younger, the first things I would do as a person is to look at where I have made mistakes, master what caused those mistakes that have affected me in one way or the other and look for a way to avoid such a mistake or error going forward to my future.

Also, I would make sure I don't dwell so much in my past as this could drag me back to the past which I have no power to change, but instead I will make my present count for good and work towards making a great future for myself.

Furthermore, in the case of the missing opportunity. I personally would not even look into the direction of my missing opportunities. Though, the missing opportunities might be golden, but I would not even allow that to lure me back to the past which I have left behind but instead create and look for better golden opportunities that would make my today count for good and clear the way for my brighter future.

One thing I have realized is that living in the past and chasing the lost opportunities is a great way of losing everything in life. This is because, by doing so, one would either be regretting or glorifying his past which in one way or the other come back to hunt one's present and block the future as the person who does this would just be there doing nothing than to think of how glorious his or her past his or how regrettable it is. Though, looking at the past is not bad, but dwelling in there is calamitous.

So, instead of dwelling in the past, one can just learn one or two lessons from there and make those lessons guide him or her to making the present count and to making the future great. I have once been a victim of the past, mine experience about the past was in two ways. It's that of regret on how my partnership businesses with people collapsed. Also, the other experience was how I have once on my own made huge profit on my personal businesses.

So, reliving my past back then, I could not actually move forward and this really affected me as I was living in the past, but once I moved out of the past and its regrets and opportunities plus its achievements, I became a new person and everything turned around for my good.

So, if I found out that I'm ten years younger, I would make sure I right my wrongs, but would not dwell in my past. So, instead of dwelling in the past and its opportunities, I would open a new chapter of my life and make use of the lessons I have learnt from the past to make my days count and also to shape my life and future.

This is my entry to the hivenaija weekly prompt.

Thanks for reading.
