Feeling like I missed out on so much in life

As I've got older I feel more and more I missed so much in life. Travel,
Owning a property, learning a language and musical instrument. I feel I could have done more
education wise if I'd had
guidance....would have loved to go to
university. I always wanted to be a teacher or librarian. Sadly I just had run of the mill jobs until my last position as a manager.
What do you feel you missed out on
In life????

I love this:
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and
the Wisdom to know the difference

Me too! But it’s so much easier to read and quote it than actually do it flowers

Yes Cossy. Some things go too deep.

I am a Recovering alcoholic now, but in the time I was in active alcoholism I made some very bad choices,ones that I bitterly regret but can do nothing about……”Accept the things you cannot change” easier said than done….

Well done Shinamae flowers

There is a lot I wish I had done by now. I'm in my 50s, but we must remember we are not dead yet. We can do it. It isn't too late. I'm going to travel and see God's beautiful places. Learn piano from my friend who teaches how to play passionately, not just like a student. Create a place for people who have nowhere to go where they can live and help them earn an income through something they enjoy. Let's do this!

There is a reason that the rear view mirror is tiny and the windscreen is huge.
