Opportunities and regrets

My coworker Todd is in his early 30's.  He took a break from school, never to return.  Instead he chooses to live a life full of bitterness and regrets for opportunities that have passed him by since he did not ever act on them.
This seems to be a thing for almost everyone I know.  They feel incapable of doing the things that they would like to do, so settle for less.  If you want it, make it happen.  Move heaven and earth to rearrange for the life you want.  If you aren't sure what you want, pick something.  You can always change your mind.  And chances are, because you started one thing, you'll be better prepared for achieving whatever it is you decide on.  Therefore,  no regrets.

For me, I want adventure.  I want love. I want to make this world a better place for merely being in it.  I have no grand ambition,  but when I find those things that matter to me,  I will do everything in my power to keep them and make them even better.
