I regret staying home

I try to ask people; what would regret you hadn't done if you were me, a few years from now?
I asked someone who have some experience and have seen others in my situation. She answered "you might regret not finding out what you really want to do".

Always when I ask something, I tend to realize the answer myself, because I always have an answer when people ask me something.

I know what I regret when I look back today.
I regret not taking all opportunities. Opportunities at work, when I was unsure of my abilities, and didn't dare. Sometimes I took opportunities but didn't succeed, but that's easier to live with. One tend to learn thing even from mistakes, just like people say. ... I regret not taking opportunities in my private life too, to do new things, meet new people or to travel to new places.

So what did I do? I stayed home by the family too much when I was young. Later I stayed too long in some of my relations. And then I stayed home with my kids and felt responsible when being single, instead of going out.

My answer to myself would be; take care about the time you have and enjoy yourself, take care about relations with other people, take care about your health, take care about the opportunities you see.. and don't stay home!

Now I'm just about to fix my home for Advent, and make it tidy and Christmas like!
Maybe I like to be at home?!
