If you could do it all over again, what would you have done better or different in life?

Answer 1

Would have treated my parents in a better way. Now that I grow up and have my own family,it really hits me that parents are the closest things you'd ever have after God.They deserve more...

Answer 2

I don't think I would have done anything cause Looking back I've done alot of very Bad things to myself as well as my friends and women in my life, won't go into details but really I wouldn't change a thing cause, because off all those things I'm the person I am today and I luv the person I am today. I've grown alot have found spiritual peace, got a great girlfriend been with her for two months now this coming 29, which may not sound like a lot but all my other 20 something other girlfriends didn't last longer then a week just long enough for me to get what I wanted. I know it sounds low but lik I said not proud of it, Proud of what I've learned and changed because of those esperiences. I think the key is not to regret those past events but to learn and grow from them. Thanks for this it really help'd me.

Answer 3

I would have studied more in high-school, and hung out with a different crowd. I would have told my family I love them. I would have kept in touch with my natural father and his family. I would call my grandma more often. I would try to remember that I AM NOT the center of the universe.
But generally speaking, I am okay with most of the mistakes and dumb things I did in life. I figure I learned from them and they made me who I am today. If I did not learn from them, then I would have more regrets.
Maybe I would thank God for all the good things in my life more often.
Maybe I should start doing all of those today. After all, I am still alive.

Answer 4

I'm 42, the only way I'd do it over again differently is if I could still have my son. If I could then I'd do everything differently.

I already did my life one way, I might as well try something different if I'm going to do it over again.

Answer 5

I would have actually studied in school instead of just letting my smarts carry me. Then I would have went to the University and graduated instead of getting side tracked into marriage. (I did go back and get my degree) Not to say that things have not ended well for me, but it seems like I have been married forever and I think I might have missed out on some cool stuff.

Answer 6

if i could do it over again i wouldn't change anything. in my opinion the things we have done in life and the reasons why all brought about certain results that may have either been good or bad. all experiences should be learning experiences that make us better and stronger day by day. and yes i have had my share of mistakes......haven't we all.

Answer 7

Quite a lot!

I would remove my religious upbringing, I probably would not marry or have children, I would pick a way of making a living that involves lots of contact with other people and is conducive to being my own boss. I would live somewhere that is naturally beautiful.

That said, I'm reasonably content with my life nonetheless.

Answer 8

I would try to get to know my father better. He was a very smart man and died when I was 17. It's my biggest regret. Also, I would skip the 2nd wife and try to work things out with the first. She was a keeper. I really had my head up my butt then.

Answer 9

I would have taken my Christianity seriously much sooner, graduated from college in my early 20's instead of my 40's, and not been as selfish pr**k for so many years. Other than that I wouldn't change anything.

Answer 10

i don't regret anything I've done except getting married, then divorced, then married again and now divorced, then getting run over by a semi trailer, bitten by a great white shark, being attacked by a lion, getting eaten by a anaconda, a pack of wolves bit my foot off,big bird crapped on my new hat,o yeah and i wrestled a crocodile and he won, otherwise no regrets.
