I wish I’d been a coder

When I graduated from College, I was recruited by IBM. My choice was a career in programming or one in graphic design. In my next life, I’d select programming/being a coder. So much magic, invention, and practical use as I’m now learning. Yes, the arts career was fulfilling. Through my own ambition and talents it led to ” the first one who” agency ownership, award worthy campaigns. and different forms of creativity. But… I can’t help wondering where that other choice would have taken me.

There is no point in looking back at what was, only to looking forward to what could be. What if our thoughts that feel like regrets about missed opportunities are instead intuitive nudges forward in another direction in the “now”?….thoughts on the future fascinations you have. I’ve read that always striving for something keeps you young. Well, the #fascination way of thinking could add many more years to your life…and to never being the boringly old but the excitingly wise and outrageous.
