I just turned 27 and this is the first year that time got really real and with that came a bunch of regret. My life isn’t horrible, but I only now started taking lifting seriously (I was always just a runner), so I lost years of progress. I stuck around being a realtor too long and after multiple years of not being successful at it and having to combine multiple jobs, I am now starting basically from the start not even breaking $50,000 at my regular job. There’s a lot of internal work and stuff from the past that I was unable to figure out and work through so now I am behind. Now I’m looking at my friends, who are mostly more successful and are in relationships, and I keep thinking that maybe if I figured out my career sooner and started working out sooner, I wouldn’t keep getting rejected by a few women I was really into, would own a much better house, etc. I know, the whole “Just compare yourself to you yesterday, no others,” and all that jazz. But that doesn’t make the regret of not meeting your potential better. submitted by /u/Hot_Instruction_5318
