what would you do different?

Question

If you had a chance and could go back---well ---however many years---------what would you do different? Do you know?

Answer 1

I would have complained less, and been more gratefull.
I would have forgiven more, and been less judgmental.
I would have spent more time with my family, instead of being to busy.
I would have spent more time listening to my children's words, rather than say," mommy's busy right now, I'm sorry, but you have to wait"...cause they never did wait,...they grew up fast. I can't get those moments back.

Answer 2

There are many things I could go back and do differently, but that would set off a chain of events different from where I am now. Since I am alive and well, I would leave well enough alone and not muck about with the continuum.

Answer 3

I would use my powers of x-ray vision for good, not evil.

Seriously though, I learned from hard experience dealing with critical situations that second guessing and 'what ifs?' are usually just ways to beat yourself up. There are always lessons to be learned for the 'next time', but ultimately if you had chosen path A instead of path B you can't be sure if things would have been better or worse.

So in short, I'd do nothing different.

Peace

Answer 4

I would have love my mum even more, if given the chance to go back in time. Her demise had not affected me at all. Only years later in moment of loneliness, her absence became a reminder of my irresponsibility and uncaring attitude. I was never around, only striking a mark for myself in any endeavor. I have forgotten the purpose of existence. --------- Beside money the love for parents, deserve the utmost attention.

Answer 5

If you go back and do even one small thing differently the course of your life is changed forever. I couldn't be me here and now without having been me there and then, so I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't have it any other way, even with some of the stuff I've been through.

Answer 6

I would've killed myself as a little kid after all that abuse I went through as a child. I never imagined how bad it would affect me later in life. In a sense I currently live in a mental Hell that I cant escape.

But that would change a lot of things in the present. If I had killed myself I wouldnt have been such a blessing in other people's lives. even though my mind is in constant agony it'd be selfish to wish for a premature death

Answer 7

yes,i`d never have believed my ex and father of my son when he said he still loved me and wanted to come back and try again,i loved him so much and we both promised we`d change,i did,he didn`t and he left us for the 2nd time just after new year and i was heartbroken again,so if i could change that i would but i`d never change meeting him as he was my first love and father of my child but if i`d been strong and never gotten back with him i`d have saved myself alot more hearthache,if only!!

Answer 8

Changing the past typically comes from feelings or remorse or regret. Letting go of the regret is far more precious.

Things could have been better and they could have been worse. Things are as they are.

Answer 9

Finish college

Answer 10

Nothing, ever thing is a lesson. If I hadn't learned from all the things that went wrong I wouldn't be where I am now.
