Would you change the path your life has taken?

Question

Let's face it we all have many things we would change if we could, even some things we shouldn't change but would like to. Overall though I think I am currently happy with my life and the direction it is taking as well as my religious beliefs and faith. How about you, would you change anything about your life and path in it?

Answer 1

Although I'm unhappy with some things in my past, I don't think I would change them. I like the point I'm at now and maybe if I had changed things, I wouldn't be at such a good point.

Answer 2

A lot of times, I wish that my eyes would have been more open to the situation my father was living in before he took his life. I feel like I should have done something different. But, then I try to remember that there was more to it than I could have helped with, that he was an adult and I believe he had a right to die (he was sick - one of the things I couldn't do anything about), and that he wouldn't want me to feel that way. But I feel that way just the same.

Everything else... nope. I've done some pretty stupid crap, but it's made me who I am, so there's no way I'd change anything else about the past. As I go through life, though... I hope I never stop finding things to change and improve about myself. Sometimes you have to really fight to see yourself clearly, though - it's not easy.

Answer 3

A few years ago, I would have said that I hated everything about my life and what it was turning into.
But now, in hindsight, I understand that I wouldn't be who I am today, with the wise knowledge and perspective that I now have, to be able to pursue my goals.
I would not try to change anything ever because I now know that there is a fate.

Answer 4

I would change things, yes, many things, but admittedly, I understand they are small forks in the road. I feel that as far as major forks, as far as those I can predict the altertives to, I have taken the right roads!

As for the small forks, they are small regrets. Things I would have rather done than not done, and vise versa, and this forum is not appropriate for such personal exposure.

Answer 5

I would not have dumped my college girlfriend.

I spent the next ten years looking for someone just like her. There were lots of lonely times.

But, I would not have met my wife, and had two wonderful sons...I guess everything worked out allright, after all...

Answer 6

If I did, I wouldn't have my son. And if I didn't have my son I wouldn't have come closer to God.
And I went through enough pain and ruddy BS to give someone post traumatic stress for years.
But my life isn't about me, it is about God. And I can see Him in my life, even in those bad times.

Answer 7

every experience and every path i have taken has led me to where i am today. my life is good and i'm happy. i would relive every moment of my life, even the worst of the worst, if that's what it took to get me where i am.

Answer 8

I wouldn't change my past, good bad or indifferent it has made me who I am today again... good, bad, or indifferent = )~ But I think I'd like to be more open-minded about marriage which has always scared me.

Answer 9

no, grant it I'm only sixteen, but my life is great, and any and all mistakes I have made, I am glad for because they are lessons learned, and I know my future is inGods hands, I just have to wait a little, while He decides for me a convent to enter :)

Answer 10

I am happy as I am so I would not attempt any changes. If I am not happy, I need to change myself to be happy!
