Go to your End and look Back

The Old Dog

Regardless of your age, imagine yourself in the future, right before the moment of your death. It’s a cool fall day, and you’re sitting outside, enjoying the sun, listening to the birds, and watching the trees sway as the wind blows.

Now, look back to the point you are at right now. You have one regret. What is it?

Often, you hear people say, “I wish I had tried that one thing that really excited me, but I was too scared.” That sentiment is definitely up there, but I want to give you one you might not have heard before.

I Wish I Had Loved Myself More Along The Way!

You wish you could go back and hug yourself. You wish you had told yourself that you’re perfect, whole, and complete just as you are.

Don’t compare yourself to anyone. You are a unique flavor of goodness (god) intended here. All the negative ego talk is nonsense! Don’t be so hard on yourself. You are full of the beautiful light of LOVE. Enjoy yourself. Smile at yourself. You are worthy. You are precious.

Come back to the present and make it so!

Dwight ❤️

A Note From The Old Dog

  1. I wish i wouldnt have compared myself to anyone else along the way. I wish i would have learned to love myself in my own skin.I wish i would have thought more often about all that i HAD accomplished , rather than what i hadnt. i wish i would have spent more time both with my family as well as alone. Crazy to pretend one is on ones deathbed sometimes. It brings things into perspective!

  2. I really enjoyed reading this Dwight! If I could name a regret it would be my out of control drinking. I certainly wasn’t loving myself then but I love how this blog basically says, do it NOW! It’s never too late! ❤️

  3. This is so good, Dwight and I think a lot of people have regrets, but like Anne mentions, I did the best I could at the time, with what I had to work with. I’ve thought about this a lot, because as you know, I want to live a good story, but would I change anything? I don’t think so. Even a 23-year marriage that didn’t last gave me amazing experiences to travel the world and two adult children whom I adore. A life of no regrets is loving yourself enough to do what’s best for you and having compassion for others it may impact. God knows your heart and I imagine He’s smiling over this post. 💙

    1. Thanks Barb! I think we forget often to love ourselves with all that beautiful goodness along the way. Was just trying to have folks focus on that for sure and to come back to the now and keep doing it instead of being so hard on ourselves.😊

  4. I know there are things I could have done better – including feeling better about myself, but I don’t think I have any regrets. I did what I did with what I knew at the time.
