Been thinking about that.

-always working. No work life balance
-seriously wouldn’t have turned all that tail down over the years. lol

Regrets .... I've had a few...

Edit: I have the two best kids a Father could ask for, so it was worth all the trouble in the end.
1. I have no tattoos to regret.
2. Forcing myself on a woman
3. Hurting somebody out of meanness.
4. I don't have the not spending enough time with my kids regret. Holy shit!
5. I don't have the "not saying goodbye" regret. What fucking fuck is that?
6. Causing somebody great harm because I didn't live up to my promises or responsibilities.
Those I'm proud of, the other ones? Some haunt me to this day.
Personal life. I would’ve stayed single longer. Although I love my wife, at the age I am now (42), I realize 23 was too young to get married. Big cans and a pretty smile. I’ll leave it at that.
Personal choices. I wish I would’ve raced when I was younger. A helicopter ride out of the desert when I was 17 postponed any interest riding for almost eight years. After regaining that interest, I felt I was too old and began focusing on my career as the priority.
I also feel regret about the career choice because I really wanted to fly for a living, and wish I’d have pursued that sooner.

also, i wished i had buttoned off for 2 big injuries i had rather than going for the jumps,
That all changed about two years ago. My story wasn’t done.
I’ve been redeemed and Christ is the center of my life and he leads my family now.
I’ve got other regrets and I’ve made plenty of mistakes. Each day is a new day. I’m no longer the same person I was. And I thank the Lord for that every day.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come.
I don't know how old you are, but if you want to fly, go for it. Start working on your private now, then on your instrument, multi, and commercial. Then you can get you instructor rating and teach, building time and making money.
I didn't start learning till I was 33, and I have been flying turbine aircraft for a living for 19 years. I have a friend who is a retired policeman from IL. He started after he retired and he is now flying as a Captain for Envoy Airlines.
I stayed corporate, and make good money flying very nice people around in a Lear 45XR.
It will be a LOT of studying and work, but it will pay off. PM me if you are interested and I can give you some tips on getting things going.
You can still do it if you want. Just remember though, there are more cop shows on TV than pilot shows.
Great post. I know we aren't supposed to talk religion, but maybe GuyB will let us by this once.
I was lucky enough to be raised in a Christian home, and I became a Christian at a young age. My biggest regret is that I haven't always been the best Christian I could have been. I never drank, smoked anything, or messed with any drugs, but in no way have I lived a perfect life. I have a lot of things to regret in life.
But, the thing with regrets, is they are from mistakes we have made, some of which steered our life to where we are now. I am extremely fortunate in life, in that I have a great family,( wife, two kids and 5 grandkids), and an awesome job. I have much more than I could have ever deserved. Not money, but other, more important things.
So even though I have done lots in life that I regret, ( I own one 4 stroke), they are things I have been forgiven for. I think we should focus on the things we are thankful for.
