If you got a second chance to do anything in your life over, what would it be and why?Or would you give it a pass and be satisfied with the way you lived your life till now?

I would go back 8 years and 1 day (from this point in time, exactly) and warn my dad not to drive that day. Jan 21, 1999 was when he was killed in a car wreck.

This type of thoughts come in mind when you're about to die..Sometimes I feel like dieing..but I lived on, I thought about this question before too. If I had a second chance in my life...I'll try to do anything I can so I can fill that emptiness within my heart. And clear the doubt on why I'm asking for a second chance in life. I think you can give yourself chance at anytime, anywhere. You should never complain about you living in poverty or extravagance. If you compare youself too much with people who lives a better life than you..You'll never be happy. You should see more of the ppl that is in need, those that are in worse conditions than you are...and see how lucky you are. Search deeply within your soul, and you'll find what is missing...

How ever I am a very good mother, and my kids are older teens now, I do wish I had a tad more patients with them, the reason why I say that is when I look back at old videos of our kids, I can hear myself saying don't do that and stop that and wipe your feet and turn that down. I know that's not a real big thing to the average person but it does bother me because now that I'm older I have sooooo much more patients, why was I so short with them when I really didn't have to be. Other then that, I've had a really good life. I love my husband and my kids.

I would never change anything that I went through, don't take this as a pity stretch because if you do i might have to feed on your brains (joke of course), but out of the hell beyond hells that anyone can imagine, i would never change a thing. There's this song I made up when I was fifteen. The beginning and the end of the song go something like this "She looked in the Mirror and saw her face, and everything she never wanted was who she became, hey, she said she'd never change, hey, she said she'd never change"... and I never would. Because even though I'm the least bit happy with who I am now, I wouldn't change a thing because this is who I am, this is what I've done, this is what I've gone through, I don't regret, I don't forget, and I don't repress, I cope and I don't even more on, I remember it forever and I make the same mistakes twice or three times, or never again, but more importantly... I'd never change a thing.

Do over for sure. The one thing that I would truly like to do over is to never have started doing drugs. I made too many bad decisions while I was using and selling drugs. I was able to kick my habits, and have been sober for over 15 years. It took me moving out of my hometown to a town where I knew no one to be able to get more drugs from. Even though I struggled and changed my life for the better, that does not matter in my hometown. I destroyed my reputation and everyone will always view me as a drug abuser. I will never be able to live there again.

I think ...
I think i will pass and accept the life i live now ... We can all look back and think "IF ONLY I DID THIS OR THAT".... and if we could go back and live a different life ... i reckon it would be safe to assume that that life would have it's own set of "IF ONLY"ies
I think rather than thinking of what i SHOULD HAVE DONE, if i am not 100% happy with how i live now .. I could always think "OK WHAT WILL I DO TO CHANGE THINGS FOR A BETTER FUTURE"
but i am happy as things are .. :)

This is something I think about all the time. There are lots of events in my life that I wish I could re-visit and re-do. But... when I really think about it and consider the ramifications, I can't imagine knowing what I've learned and being able to pass along that knowledge without it. It sounds great, and seems like a lot of little problems would never have happened. But in the end, those little situations make you who you are today. People always joke about going through High School knowing what they know now. I wouldn't. I didn't have the time of my life, but the hardships helped to make me who I am today. GREAT questions!! Thanks!

I would not change anything in my pass, because all the things I experienced has made me the person I am today. I am strongwilled, loving, goal oriented, and just plain content with my accomplishments. I am who I am because of the past. I believe people go through life the way they do because it is in God's will.

I would learn what it takes to have the love I seek from a life partner. I have successfully learned to love in every other form, but the constant mutual love of a good man continues to elude me.

Only in the losing can you find victory in the winning, only in the loneliness can you find happiness in the togetherness, only in the experience can you share the result and spare someone the same pain. No, hold your head up and be proud you survived and give thanks for the strength that got you here today.
