If you could go back in time and change one thing that you regret doing, what would it be & why? Or would you go with the "everything happens for a reason" logic?

I did not always have an easy life and I used to just wish I could go back and change some things, But we cant. So why think on it.
And yes, I did find out that everything does happen for a reason. All that I went thru made me who I am today, I can let it define me or I can define it. Its my choice how I react to all that happened to me. I can let it hold be down and I back. Or I can learn from it and move ahead making only a positive future for me now with GOd.
There are no coincidences. I call them GOd cidences.
Alll that happens for a reason, and we are to take charage and let the bad not define us, but we define it.
I dont have to react to bad things, I can stay as I am and let God work within me to heal and grow and learn. I dont have to let it keep me down , or do bad things bad.
Choose Jesus is a choice. Choose life and forgivness is a choice Choosing to obey God is a choice,
and so are the choices to not believe in God, to not obey Him, and to live in a life with sorrow and regrets forever, and never really moving on.
I know how I choose. How about you.????????

I regret staying in my marriage longer than I should have and I regret never bearing children. No, I don't believe "everything happens for a reason." It would be easy to take comfort in using that but I'm hoping possibly to teach someone else with my regrets rather than to console myself.
I know others who regret not having or adopting children so I state this to let others know that "not to have children" needs to be considered as deeply as "to have children."

Life has no room for what ifs, you live with what you have done in the past if you regret it then sop be it thats the way it is, i wish i could of done a few things different but i cant worry about what if this happened why? because if you think to much about the past mistakes you made it will lead to new mistakes. with life comes perservernce with perserverence comes wisdom.

I regret that I didn't act on my feelings. Rumor had it, the person actually liked me lol. Be we took our seperate ways after H.S. If I could go back I would definitely go back for that person. I believe that everything happens because of the choices we make, and our free will.

Sure I can have regrets about things in the past that I've said/not said and done/not done, but I don't. For me, it's all just a part of living and learning.

When I was in my teens and 20's I experimented w/ cocaine. I wish I had not done that. I started drinking at the age of 15, smoking at the age of 19 and have "socially" drank ever since. Not every day. But I wish that no "unwholsome" thing had ever entered my body.

Yeah. I would change some stuff. I think some stuff that's happened just sucks, and it didn't really make me a better person or lead to anything good. But, I can't change it now, so there's really no point in worrying about it.

All the things I have done in my life has made me who I am today. If I changed even the smallest thing, I would be a different me. So, no, I wouldn't change one thing.
