Have you ever considered the difference between “failure” and “regret”?

I looked it up, and the definition of failure is “lack of success”.

The definition for regret is “Feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over something that has happened or been done, (especially a missed opportunity).

Regret seems to have a negative impact on a deeper level, doesn’t it?

The world is opening back up, and right now there are so many amazing opportunities for travel. We understand you are still hesitant to make decisions about it on your own, that’s why you use a professional travel agent.

We also understand you may be hesitant to travel independently right now. That’s why traveling with a group is an excellent hedge of protection for you.

I have found that I can live with failure. To have tried and failed is better than not to have tried at all, so they say.

But regret, that’s a bitter pill to swallow, isn’t it? COVID taught us all a valuable lesson. We sat around for two years regretting opportunities we didn’t capitalize on, relationships we took for granted, freedoms we didn’t appreciate.

How many birthdays did we miss? Anniversaries? Our children and grandchildren are two years older, and that’s two years of memories we didn’t make on a Caribbean beach searching for starfish, isn’t it? It’s two years of missing the amazing Christmas spectacle at Branson and in European Christmas Markets.

Let’s take these new situations as they evolve and capitalize on them fully. Rejoice in the opportunities at hand. Whether it’s your ability to socialize safely now with friends and loved ones, go about your day-to-day routine with far less restrictions, or your ability to travel the world. It’s time to come out of our cocoons and go for it, live without regret.

Your Globetrotting Friend,
JOY
