If I could turn back the hands of time, it might be a moment to reflect upon what I would have done differently or what changes I could have made. While I cannot change the past, there are few things I felt I should have worked on and make it more right for me
My Personal Relationships
I feel I should have mended some broken relationship with some extended families and also some estranged friends whom till date we do not relate too much anymore and I only say hi to few of them once in a blue moon.
Spending more quality time with loved ones as I was always busy with studies and work which made me stand aloof from loved ones and it tells on how relationship as we only talk when necessary instead of been able to goof and joke around but now I am trying to make different choices that would have a positive impact on your relationships.
Education and Career
I feel I should have pursue different educational path like computer programming or Law which I believe suit my personality more than been an accountant and I should have explore new career opportunities in been a consultant/freelancing accountant instead of staying in the office which might make me grow faster in my career path ladder and that will align better with my passions and goals in life.
Financial Decisions
I could have made wiser financial choices by saving and investing my salary and allowances but rather I was embedded in spendthrift as I was of the opinion that I will always get money at the end of the month, it made me not to avoid certain expenses that eventually led to some financial challenges for me.
Health and Well-being
I think I should have given more priority to my health and well-being, though I never drink nor smoke but I felt I should have been engaging in more physical exercises by hitting the gym regularly instead of doing it once a while. Also I should have a regular session with medical practitioners to ascertain my health status .
Travel and Experiences
Though I usually go on tour and travel around my native country but I can help but remember opportunities I miss in visiting tourist and art center. Now it is difficult to embark on those journey as there are inflations and funds to sponsor travel is now on the high side.
I remember that there are some risks I failed to take and some opportunities for new experiences which if I had took then would have shaped my life positively.
Though one thing I always say is that, while it's natural to contemplate what could have been, the past cannot be changed. Instead, it can serve as a valuable lesson and motivator to make the most of the present and shape a better future. I will focus on the lessons I learned and use them to inform my decisions moving forward.
