Some of life’s greatest lessons come from first hand experience. And those experiences teach us the “I wish I had” or “I’m glad I did” moments. You know those “living WITH regrets” or “living with NO regrets”. The latter on both of those statements is truly the best way to go. Believe me, I’ve known…
