I Wish I Had…

“We should eliminate the words, ‘I wish I had…’ from our vocabulary.  If we wish we had…then we should.”  Jedediah Grant

What keeps us from doing what we later wish we had?

Someone else?

No.

The crowd?

Impossible.

It’s us.

It’s always us.

More specifically stated, it’s me.

I keep myself from doing what I later wish I had.

Here are a few of mine.

I wish I had not run through the first base coach’s “hold up” sign, which caused me to be out at second, end the inning and break my hand, even though I went on to play the final three games with a broken hand and went three for three in the final game.

I wish I had applied myself academically in high school and college and gone on to law school with an double undergrad degree in English Literature and Political Science, with a minor in Theology with my emphasis in law being Constitutional Law.

There is a long list.

I could go on.

Take your, “I wish I had’s…” and turn them into “I’m glad I did.”

What you almost “did”…you can still “do”.
