Looking back, life was full of choices. I think I did pretty good, but... throughout life, there are countless intersections, beckoning one way or the other. At some, we’re thoughtful and planned, at others, opportunistic, and then there are those that make gamblers of us. Like with jobs - when asked what we do and how that came to pass, the answers, like the choices they describe, are often indirect. There’s that little voice saying the grass looks greener on the other side of the road – the remedy to that is nothing more than going all in at whatever you’re doing – so there are no unanswered questions. Where you’ve been engaged, participated fully, and gave it your best. You may not end up there forever, but if you’ve been diligent there’ll be no complaints if you move on – it’ll be seen as an honest effort. No lingering doubts. Otherwise, you’re apt to look back on your life and realize that you successfully managed to get the least out of it. That’s not a good feeling. Always give it your best. And have no regrets. Be in it at every stop on your journey today.
Robert Breault (born 1963) is an American operatic tenor.
