This blog was inspired by the writer of said blog and her procrastination for studying.

I LITERALLY CAN’T BELIEVE HOW FAST TIME IS FLYING. I have exams rolling around the corner, yet here I am, coming up with excuses to push my studying to the last minute. I don’t know what has come of me, I honestly hate doing that, but hey, maybe I am evolving……. Nah, I think its just not clicking in. Although as I write this, it definitely feels like its kicking in by the way I feel the butterfly effect of excitement and nerves.

Even my Instagram knew it was time to give me a little push. I opened my explore page and then a video came up which I found quite helpful. I want to apply the video to this blog, thus the header, “choose your preference.” Allow me to share your options of choice.

1. Accepting the pain of discipline.
2. Accepting the pain of regret.

I think we all know the answer that is most favorable…

OPTION NUMBER ONE

Well, that is my personal choice anyways. This kind of put my thoughts into perspective, discipline may cause pain, but it’s a MILLION times better than the pain of regret. I’m sure you will agree with that at least. After getting a quick reality check, I realized that it would only benefit me like always, to just jump straight into the overflowing, strenuous, MIND BOGGLING amount of studying. This is not an exaggeration, by the way, take psychology and you’ll understand.

I feel that this principle can be applied to life in general. We either take the pain of discipline or regret. Whether that be regarding a job opportunity or just seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while. It all comes down to the simple split second of a choice, whether you going to put in the required effort or just hope for the best and leave something to its own fate. I believe in taking the crazies opportunities I can get. Taking the opportunities that I might be TOO optimistic about, but the truth is, when I do this then there are no regrets. When I do this, I know that I have tried, and I’ll  know if I’ll gain some kind of opportunity that is possible for me.

I have just seemed to forget all of this. I mean, really, I always choose discipline.  NOW, creeping to exams, is the time I forget…. Well, it’s a wakeup call that I am definitely going to see. Excuse the pun. I honestly hope you do the same Choose discipline over regret. Either may end in pain from effort that is required to be put in for an epic effect. There is nothing worse than knowing this could have been different if you had just been willing to put in the extra effort.

P.S. sorry for all the CAPS, I am just quite passionate about people seizing their chances at great opportunities.

P.P.S. I HOPE THE CAPS WORKED IN TERMS OF GETTING THE ABOUVE MENTIONED INTO YOUR HEAD 😊
