Back in December (it seems like months ago), I wrote about acting out your dreams and values and living a life of few regrets. I’d like to share a few more thoughts with you.
Be an Actor.
Here’s an example of someone who has made the choice to act. He is one of my coaching clients, and his big dream is to be an act or in his life. No, like me he doesn’t want to be a stage actor. He wants to be taking act ion on his intentions and desires. Going for it is his game. Having a life of few regrets. How does that sit with you?
Are you making a mess?
I want to acknowledge that sometimes we do find ourselves regretting a decision. That’s perfectly fine as long as it is for a brief period of time. Then, it’s up to you to get over it. Stop should ing on yourself. (Otherwise, it will make a big stinkin’ mess.) After all, the experience is over with, and life is moving on with or without you (I feel a U2 song coming on).
I’ve got a secret.
I’ve got a secret to share with you. I had a couple opportunities to do karaoke when I was on the cruise I mentioned here …
And, I didn’t do it. I thought about it (more than once). We watched other people do it.
I never got up the courage to get up there on stage. And, I regret not saying yes to it. I now realize that I really enjoy being on stage. Since I just took a voice teleclass with Karen Lyu, and got a chance to have fun improving my singing and speaking with her, I feel ready to go for it!
So, next cruise I’m taking my own advice, making a different choice, and I’m doing karaoke. You heard it here.

That sounds great! Few regrets! What I would like to see though, is the video of you doing the Karaoke
Great post, sometimes we have to step out and step beyond our own restrictions. Indeed.
Thanks,
Bryan

Great post! There’s gotta be Karaoke closer to you than a cruise ship…
