Don’t Compromise Your Passion: Avoiding the Regret of Missed Opportunities in Life


There’s not a day goes by I don’t feel regret. Not because I’m in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can’t. That kid’s long gone and this old man is all that’s left. I got to live with that.

As I read through those words, spoken by the character Red in the movie “The Shawshank Redemption,” I couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness and regret. Regret all the times I’ve held back from pursuing my passions, settling for a safer, more comfortable path. And I know that I’m not alone in feeling this way.

It’s a common narrative in our society to prioritize stability and security over taking risks and pursuing our dreams. We’re told to go to school, get a good job, save for retirement, and then enjoy life once we’ve put in our time. But what about the things we truly love to do? What about the dreams that we’ve had since we were young?

As we grow older, we start to realize the toll that compromise takes on our lives. We start to feel that gnawing sense of regret, the feeling that we could have done more, been more. And it’s a feeling that’s hard to shake off.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. We don’t have to settle for a life that’s less than what we truly desire. It takes courage and determination to pursue our passions, but the rewards are immeasurable.

Imagine waking up every day, excited to start working on something that you truly love. Imagine being able to make a living doing something that brings you joy and fulfillment. It’s not just a dream – it’s possible.

Of course, there will be obstacles along the way. There will be times when we feel like giving up, when the road ahead seems too daunting. But those moments are also opportunities for growth and self-discovery. It’s during those times that we learn the most about ourselves and what we’re truly capable of.

So if you’re reading this and you’re feeling that same sense of regret that Red felt, it’s not too late. You can still pursue your passions, no matter how old you are or what your current situation may be. It’s never too late to start living the life you’ve always wanted.

Don’t be the person who looks back on their life with regret, wishing they had taken more risks and followed their dreams. Be the person who takes action, who pursues their passions with everything they’ve got. Because in the end, that’s what truly matters

Parents Demotivating your Dreams!!!


It can be very discouraging and demotivating when the people closest to you, such as your parents, do not support your dreams. However, it’s important to remember that their reactions might not be about you or your dreams, but about their own fears and concerns.

Here are some steps you can take to deal with your parents’ demotivating behavior:

  1. Seek support from others: Surround yourself with people who believe in your dreams and are willing to support you. This can be friends, mentors, or even online communities.
  2. Take small steps: Break down your goals into smaller, achievable tasks, and start taking action towards your dreams. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and use it as motivation to keep going.
  3. Believe in yourself: It’s important to remember that your dreams are valid and worth pursuing, even if others don’t see it. Believe in yourself and your abilities, and keep working towards your goals.

Ultimately, it’s important to follow your own path and do what makes you happy, even if it means going against what your parents want for you. It may take time, but with persistence and hard work, you can achieve your dreams and prove to your parents that you were right to pursue them

Feeling Guilty & Confused….


Every human has a lot of dreams when it comes to their professional & personal life. Always we there is a problem in balancing between personal & professional life balance. As a big dreamer I’ve strongly decided to run behind my dream. Last 10 years I’ve not spent much time with my parents & sister. Though I feel guilty at times I’ve not felt that bad as I’ve spent almost 2 decades with them.

But new entering a new phase in my life where I’ve to share my life with a better half. It has been 2 weeks since I’ve attended calls or called back the special person. Also not sure if I can for next month or so.

For the first time I’m feeling guilty. When I shared this with my closed ones I was asked to balance my personal life. But people who are professionally connected to me know the responsibility I carry and the difficulty I’ve in balancing time.

I’m trying to meet very successful people who have made it big from Rags and want to know if they are really successful in balancing personal & professional life. How did they balance in their early stage when they were in their pursuit of becoming successful.
