Motivation Monday: Ain’t Nobody Got Time for Regret

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Tampa chapter.

“I’d rather regret the things I have done than regret the things I haven’t done.” — Lucille Ball

The Queen of Funny speaking words of wisdom, as to be expected. Personally, as a naturally reserved inclined individual it is harder for me to go out and actually do things. This is mostly due to the fact that my mind races through too many possibilities where my choices will end on the disastrous side. Ironically, I often wonder if perhaps my inaction has ever lead me down a less desirable path. Alas, such is life; those “What if” scenarios can become the bane of our existence if we let them.

However, it is Ms. Ball who reminds us that being more proactive, willing to act out our riskier choices, can prove to have some of the best rewards. True, sometimes they will come back to bite you, but I think, more often than not, you’ll be glad you took that risk.

Claire is a junior Writing and FMA (Film & Media Arts) double major. She hails from Huntsville, AL, where she resided from the point of birth until beginning her journey here at the University of Tampa. She is greatly enjoying her college career, and can be seen hopping around campus, either going to class, or doing something in relation to the many organizations she is a part of. When not actively involved with classes, Her Campus, and/or other organizations, Claire can be found lounging around in her room, most likely glued to her laptop, or writing with her quill pen in her journal, or perhaps reading the Lord of the Rings trilogy (her latest book quest).
