16. The Pain of Regret Is Realizing Time Doesn’t Refund the Moments You Wasted
Time is the one currency you can never earn back. And when you waste it—whether by avoiding growth, chasing distractions, or giving into laziness—you pay a price you can’t return. One day, you’ll look at a calendar and realize that a whole year passed, and you’re still in the same place. Worse, you’ll feel it in your soul—that creeping sadness that says, “I could’ve been so much further.” That’s the pain of regret. It doesn’t demand much now—but it will take everything later: your confidence, your peace, and your pride.
