Time is money (personal blogpost)

I try not to have any regrets in life but it is hard to let go of the many things that I lost. I still can not forgive myself for losing my life savings twice and getting fired from my previous job due to mining crypto. Those were foolish mistakes and I have suffered financially and physically.

Every time I feel depress just thinking about these mistakes I try to realign my thoughts to be more optimistic. I would say to myself " the time I have left should not be dwelled on the thinks I dislike or hate. I should spend the time on the things I like and the things that matter the most to me."

Each of us have a limited time on this planet. To dwell on the past will not change my present or future. So why dwell on it? It is because I make the assumption that if I never made the mistake my life would be that much easier. But then that is just fantasy. What is the point to fantasize if it is unobtainable. To wish I could turn back time and not make the mistakes is pointless. It only turns into a vicious cycle of me wasting my time to nothing that would better me in anyway.

So here I am today. Since I lost my last job I have recovered what I had lost financially at my new job. I have yet to recover my technical notes as my previous employer purposefully kept it to hinder my progress.

Yet Life is not perfect. We all make mistakes and sometimes the consequences are just hard to get through. It takes time up time to recover and heal. There is nothing worse than to know I could have spent my time more wisely by doing something else. So realizing how valuable my time is. I have more appreciation towards my friends and family for the time I spend with them. I can gain back financially what I lost but the time it spent me to regain it is forever lost. I can't make the same stupid mistakes as time is worth much more than money.
