If this was the first day of your life what would you do diffrent?

Question

knowing the things you know now.

Answer 1

Duh, it is! Everyday is a new day, the first of many more hopefully. You cannot change the past, its gone forever, but you can chart your future to some degree. Its like saying, "today I will climb that freakin mountain" and not "yesterday I should have climbed that mountain" because yesterday is history. Today and only today is a the DAY. You may not even be here tomorrow even if you prep for some far off date, you are not certain to see it. Live for today, its the first and only one you are assured to make a difference in.

Answer 2

I don't know. Everything I have done thus far has led me to where I am.

I am having to do things right now that I don't want to do but it is to protect some of the ones I love. If I were to change anything, I would not be in this position but then again I may not have the very ones I need to protect. So there is nothing I can change to make things different than they are today without having to pay a much higher price by not having those that I love right now.

Answer 3

I would have never picked up bad habits. I would have gotten a job as soon as I was the age the law allowed, saved my money, did as good as I possibly could in school. I would have bought myself a vehicle and gone on to university. Then I could have had the career of my choice. I would not have cared what other people thought about me and I would have relied on what I know is true about me. I would be more selfless, giving, caring and kind. Tolerant and patient.....

Answer 4

I'd leave myself a note to do three things in the future.
1. To have my parents do whatever it took to get me promoted so I didn't lose eight years in school.
2. Find a way to study ancient Greek.
3. Go to college in New York City so I'd have four years there and a chance to sell my work and myself.

Answer 5

Like as in born again as a baby or just a reset button maintain your age?

If it were the first, i would only have the experience up to my age now...which I wouldnt know as being immature or mature. Upon hitting this age again, I'd still have to learn more abourt life.

But as to what I would change? almost everything. But I dont regret what Ive gone through.

Answer 6

Well, if it was something that I was capable of actually doing, without trouble, I would forget about my estranged husband. I would stop loving him. I was hurt deeply by his actions and can't get over it. I find it hard to forgive myself for having stayed in the relationship. Many people just tell me to get over it, but it is easier said than done. I just wish I could do one of those "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind" sort of things...

Answer 7

I read a poem by Eva Maxmillion who wrote "Life is like a blank sheet of paper... I think it means as you think in your heart early in life, sets the tone for the rest of your life. So, I am grateful that my parents were kind and set the stage for a great life. I am very grateful that a church gave me a Bible and I came to read about a loving God who sent His only Son, Jesus, who was willling to put His whole life down on the line for one like me, or you, too.

Answer 8

Be a better lover than I have been in the past. Not do as many drugs. finish as much school as possible. Vote. Those are the main things

Answer 9

Be a serious geek in school and become a genius. I made good grades but I would have just put a little more effort in school. Oh also would have waited to lose virginity

Answer 10

Steered clear of husband altogether (or at least not have told him I was pregnant and had his baby on my own, ditching him for the dirty things he did to take my life and identity) and people like him, stayed in college to get degree, tried to make a positive difference in people's lives.
Been with parents more and spending quality time showing them love while still had time and forgeting about jerks instead of wasting so much time on worrying about husband and where he was and wondering where my youth is going and worrying about myself and the bills.
Gone to community college 2-4 years and then to the all girls college to be near my parents when I had the chance to save them and myself money. Worked part time if I could and lived at their house with them and tried to do for them and myself.
Get my doctorate's degree(s) so I could help others and myself.
Breaking free from toxic people who would only harm me. Breaking free from the past issues and abuses and horrors I have lived through and seen. Living my life as I see fit, supporting myself and not under some lying manipulative passive aggressive controller's thumbs. Choose to tell him like h*** you'll control me and tell me I can't go to school when we're not even married and you refuse to marry me when you promised!! And challenge him when he first tried to control me or leave at the first red flag sign he showed me.
Helped others. Helped myself. Been happy and living to make myself and others happy. But not making people's random and chaotic my world and not making my happiness or life based on the chaos and cruelty of others.
Saved up every penny I earned for myself and not let (current) husband have it. Find someone responsible in all the ways that counts and who would take care of and support me and our children together so I am not a single mother while still inside a marriage of convenience on a sheet of paper. Find someone I could love and respect and take care of who would treat me right. Find someone stable, supportive, understanding, a home body who is faithful to me and his children. The same person would have to be compatible with me.
Gone through with my plans, goals, and dreams, instead of letting someone else take over my life.
Worked on my issues early on.
Gone to the right churches and had the right jobs early on to have a more secure position in life.
