“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”

I definitely could’ve utilized my quarantine time better. I could have written more, read more, learned more. But needless to say, I haven’t used my time in a way I wish I had. I could’ve been way farther in what I wanted to be if I just focused my efforts thus far.

It certainly is easy to look back and wish you started a habit sooner. Invested in something earlier. Finished something at the right time. In the moment it doesn’t seem like a big deal. But in hindsight, a lot could have happened in the long run.

But it’s a lot more fruitful than it otherwise could be, to decide to change it now, rather than dwelling on what could be.

There’s always something we can wish we did with the cards we were dealt. But what matters is what we do with the cards in our hand now.
