We all make good decisions and bad decisions. Unfortunately, we focus on the bad decisions because that's what weighs on us the most. I could have gone to the Naval Academy, I could have been a doctor, I should have stayed in the software business, I should have invested more money. But I decided that partying would be my goal. Of course, I regret it now and got nothing out of it, but I'm learning not to dwell on those days because I can't change anything. It is what it is. I'm Row Jimmy, no more no less. Just me. All that matters is what we do today to bring us to tomorrow.......and then we go from there. We live in a society that pounds constant success and winning into our skulls but the fact remains is that life is full of failure. I've punched holes in walls, threw my trashcans on my roof, threatened my neighbors, hucked a lawn chair at my mother - all of which I regret but I can't change. I can only work at being better tomorrow. The key is committing yourself to it. Don't get down. Good luck.
