If you could change the past, is there a decision you would change, or would you do things differently ?

I've thrown away work opportunities, and made some unfortunate life choices in the past, I sometimes wonder how my life may have been different...maybe I'd be living in a skyscraper instead of the country....?

They're a couple of things I would definitely change. I wouldn't be where I am now if I did.......

Far too many to list here. I guess the one that comes to mind most often was an opportunity to live & work in San Diego for 2 years. I was only about 22 at the time & I thought I had a lot more going on here.I just wonder what it would have led to.

The Past is over- why torture onesself with what ifs and woulda, coulda, shouldas. I try to learn, grow, and accept each day.

Oh sure but I don't like to dwell on the past and what "might have been". It's possible that if I could have the chance to change or re-do some things, I may very well make poor decisions in some other area. Guess I'll just keep believing that I am, who I am supposed to be, and keep movin' along.... :)

Everyone makes bad choices in their lives. We learn from each one and move on to the next bad choice. No two alike. if a person continues making the same bad choice and expecting different results they are either mentally challenged or a scientist. They are pretty close.. :)
