I want to be more involved in my, I'm speaking now specifically on medical stuff.
I want to be more involved because I want to be able to advocate for my dad.
My dad is my only parent left.
I want to be involved.
I want to be able to be an advocate for my dad, just like my mom and dad were advocates for me.
Now, I have more access, just given the internet, to information readily than they did in my younger years, those years where I was completely reliant upon them for medical decisions.
But at least it's a conversation.
And I want to go with my dad to support him in those things, just so he knows that he's not alone, so you don't have to sit in a waiting room by yourself.
Can it be a pain in the ass?
Will you regret doing it though if something happens?
Or if you had the opportunity to be there and you weren't, are you going to look back on regret?
at that choice that you made because you might have had to call out from work, I think you will.
And I hate regret, of which I have plenty, by the way.
I have never met somebody who hasn't regretted something in their life or wished to make a decision that they could have changed or done something better.
Even those who are the most successful people that I know, they still have things that they would do differently in their life, which I think is amazing and essential, that constant desire and drive change.
to be a better version of yourself.
So regret doesn't have to be negative.
It can be in a very powerful motivational force and lever.
