A Day In The Life Of? Whose Life Would You Like To Experinece?

Hi Ellie, Well I think i'm with you on this one, if asked this a few years ago I would of answered a lot differently but with age comes been comfortable with ones self and I am now happy within myself, that's not to say I have the perfect life or am I perfect but deep inside and above all lifes troubles, I'm happy but it would be very interesting to step outside and look in and see what others see, this is a good discussion hun it's made me think.

Like having an out-of-body experience? I've never had one. People I know who have had were asleep and I've read about some where the people were on the operating table. You sure do have a vivid imagination, Ellie.

Hmmm, that is a good one, Ellie. I think there are many roles I would like to try. I'd like to be Oprah for a couple of weeks. Then, I'd like to be Hillary Clinton for a couple of weeks. I think I'd like to be an interior designer for awhile, that whole profession fascinates me. I'd like to live in Paris for a year and be "anyone" there just to experience it all. Then, I think I'd like to be a chef in Tuscany. Gosh, I could just go on and on with this one. Take care, and huggles back.

hi ellie, I would still like to be me, and like you see where the things I need to address rather than just leave alone, how at times I seem to be going wrong in my own life and the signs I miss (a lot) that would help me in my personal journey in life..I wouldn't want to be anyone else at all...Huggles littleowl

I'd like to be me, too! If I were someone else, I'd have to have their family, their home, their job ... no thanks! I'm happy with the things I already have. Maybe I could do with being a little less lazy and unmotivated ... but apart from that, I'm happy with the status quo!

Hi Ellie! I've come back 3 times to answer this question as it is one of the best I've ever been ask. I never had a problem knowing who's life I would like to experience but I just wanted to sound half way intelligent when I responded! But since I can't think of anything better this 3rd time that I am here then I suppose I will just go with my very simple and easy answer. I would not like to experience anyone's life except my own either! I am use to my life, I have my own problems to deal with that I attempt to work out each day and I certainly don't want to step into anyone elses shoes, even temporarily, and try to work on Their problems. I also would not want to change the relationships I have or have had and I wouldn't take any amount of money in the World to change Much in my life. I would like to change the sicknesses that my loved ones and I have, but other than that I wouldn't change a thing as it is still My life! I would like to do like you mentioned though and stand on the outside looking in, so I could see what others see, (not that it would probably help), and try to figure out what I could do better, but then again if I did that, then I would not be me, living My life daily anymore as I would, knowing me, try to change the course of history and try to "fix" my errors! Thanks for the great discussion and making me think! ;)

[i]Hi ellie, This is very tough! LOL! but I love to play the game! Maybe I will love to experience Mother Theresa's life, I know it's not easy but with a lot of good things she has done to a lot of people, I want to experience that![/i]

I wish I were my fictional alter ego, who I get my mylot name from - Elic

I'd still be me. I wouldn't want anyone else to mother my children, not even for a moment, let alone a day. And that goes for my hubby as well. My life may not be perfect. But it is mine. I don't think I'd be comfortable walking in anyone elses shoes either. Good discussion!

I think i would like to be my 15 year old son just to see the way his mind works and to see what issue are important to him and what worries him. I would also like to spend a day as my 11 year old daughter just to see what makes her so driven to be so successful in her life.

It sounds like you need a film crew to follow you around for a day, so that you can watch yourself back in the evening and pick holes in your behaviour! Perhaps getting the Big Brother editing team involved would save time. They could just show you parts out of context and make you look like the world's worst friend / mother / employee etc all rolled into one twenty minute episode! I'm kidding of course, and I do know what you mean about not seeing the wood for the trees. Sometimes I'd like to briefly stop time in order to take 24 hours in which to examine my life without all the everyday distractions going on. In answer to your question though, I think I'd like to be someone who is successful in some of the areas I aspire to. I would have to be able to take their knowledge away with me though at the end of the day! Oh, and I'd have to be able to vet whoever was going to be me in my place for the day to ensure they were suitable :-)

i would like to be like flowers that everybody admires how beautiful and love to have in everyday life

I will like to be Jay Leno for a day, I will spend some quality time alone, take my cars and motorcycles, and take my wife to the show where she and Kevin can fight over me, I will change my guess list and invite all the Anaheim Angels team (baseball team) Kevin Specey and Tom Hanks and if I can Herrison Ford, for music I will get Juanes.

Hi ellie - I am happy to be myself - warts and all! I am still travelling on the road and still want to be a better person (I fail so many times) but I haven't given up trying. I read a few responses to your post and have to tell you that I did have an out of body experience whilst nearing the end of A 15 hour horrific labour giving birth to my third son. 15 hours of labour pains lasting 90 secs and only 30 secs before the next contraction. I nearly lost my mind. The doctor turned up to deliver the baby and he did give me an injection. I remember that I was hovering over the doctor's shoulder and looked down at myself lying on the bed. I had so much love and sympathy for me and kept murmuring "Poor Cynthie, why don't they do something for her?" I was there for what seemed quite a while and I saw my son being born - rather, I saw the head of him before he emerged. I don't know how I got back into my body but obviously I did and have lived to tell the tale! Blessings

I'm not really sure anymore, especially these days. Some people seem to have it all but alot of times their life is no better than ours is.

Aww hard question with way too many possible answers Maybe Ghandi so I would know what it feels like to be a leader to my people Oprah to know how it feels to be able to help so many Sacagawea to know how it felt to be that strong and wise oxoxxoxoxo

AT my age....I am with you. I would still like to be me. I love my family so much..love what I do ....even just love my home which isn't very fancy....but it's got all my stuff right here...I think the older you get...the more contentment sets in. I have no desire to be anyone else!

hi ellie,long time ago, i just wanted to experience myself as being naughty, and can talk straight forward, what i mean is i can tell everyone what i wanted to tell not like my present life that i keep it inside of me..and thats they thought im so brave enough even though i was dying inside..thats me..cheers

Wow, really good question and really difficult to answer. I guess I would definitely like to experience the life of a politician. You know, giving speeches and stuff. But I don't think I'll be able to cope with the pressure. So realistically, I probably would just want to experience the life of a millionaire. Probably Bill Gates. I would love to have super-fast internet in my office and do video-conferencing everyday.

Hi ellie, I can't think of anyone's life I would like to experienced so I just have to be me as well, as I do like my life as it is most of the time unless hubby upsets me and to have my two cats next to me, that s all I care for the moment. Love and huggles. Tamara xxxx
