Will you take it? Will you live your life all over again? For me, I will no longer want to live my life all over again. I have been through so many hardships and trials in the past that I don't want to experience them again. I know that I have also a lot of happy memories in the past, but that's it. I have experienced them already and that I glad that I have them with me now. I am ok with my life and that I am looking forward to in the future. How about you? Will you accept it or not and why? Please share your thoughts! Thanks

I agree with you Joice! I don't wanna live my life all over again. I'm happy with who i am right now. I may have things or decisions to change in the past but what's done is done and there is nothing we can do about it. It's inevitable to commit mistakes and wrong decisions for us humans because we are far from God's perfection but we can ask from Him to lead us to do what is right.Right? God bless you.

Yes, you are right. If we will ever go back again, we may never be sure that we will not commit the same mistakes again. Thanks for the response.

if possilbe, i think i will cherish this chance. why? because i will try my best to better things that i haven't done better before, and retaste the successful things i have reached. but it's just the assumption, right? i should be more objective. the failure and success of my past reminds me to do better in my future life....:)

Yes, you are absolutely right there. Because if we will always be going back then we might never see the future...

There are many things in my life that I would love to change, decisions I have made that proved to be wrong, people I have trusted only to find myself being hurt and choices that I have made that should have been given more thought. Would I do it again, I don't know.

I'd DEFINITELY go back to my past. I'd even go back to certain times in my life to undo the messups of my life. I want to go back in time to undo some things I regret.

For years there was one specific moment that I wanted to go back to, to change my actions in hopes of changing everything that happened after that moment. Not that the time before that was good, but that moment is what I consider the worst thing to happen to me. *thinks hard* I've gotten over that now. My life sucked. I'll admit it. Everything up until the moment I left my family and the place where I grew up behind was pretty horrific. I try to find happy memories there, and once in a while I'll scrape one up. Still, I think I could count them without straining myself very hard, which isn't true of the bad things. I wouldn't go back there now. As much as it might be nice to have grown up loved and safe, there are things in my life that have taught me to go out of my way to help others in bad situations. So I can't give that up now. And the things that I have in my life now are so beautiful and wonderful and precious that I wouldn't leave them for anything, even to change the past.

There are so many things that I would change if I were to live my life over again, but no, I don't want to live my life over. I have been through many, many trials and have learned so much but I wouldn't want to go through them again. I have had so many happy memories but that is just what I want to keep them are precious memories.

I will also not go back to my past. I am not happy for my past years with loads of homework and lots of classes to take in. And actually i really hate the education system in our country. Students in our country must take very difficult exams to get in a better school so our poor students here spend most of time reading some impractical texts and meomorizing useless things everyday with only little time to play or have a fun with the peer.I am not still studying but i am an adult now having lots of free time to surffing the net or doing things I like to do.But the past horrible study schedule still have a negative effects on me to the extent that sometimes i really hate learning knowledge.

Yes, you're right! That's how our education goes here in our country and I also don't like to experience them all over again. I have learned my lessons already and try not to commit the same mistakes again... Thanks for the response...

I would have liked to start over, knowing what I know now, and change the things I did wrong. But then again, I would never have met my husband and never had two beautiful children. I don't think I could ever do that. Rather take what I have and work on a better future, using what I went through in the past to teach me to overcome hardships and deal with life's good and bad.

Well, I can look back at my past and see quite a few things which I wish I had or hadn't done, but I love what I have now. I also believe that things happen for a reason, and if I changed just one little thing, I wouldn't have the life, or beautiful wife and son that I have now!

If I will given a chance to go back maybe I will change my life but saying that it doesn't mean I regret my life now. I just want to try if I finished my studies before maybe now I have a succesful job and have great life now.

There is only one event in my past that I would like to re-do. It was my party during my 18th birthday. Although it was a nice celebration, I made a bad decision regarding my 18 roses, especially my last dance. I should have just made my father as my last dance because I did not have a special someone yet during that time. I chose someone who I thought I really liked but I realized that I did not have feelings for him after the dance. I ended up telling him that we can only be friends. I would have preferred not celebrating my 18th birthday.

I like who I am at this moment:) So if there was a chance for me to live again,I would choose to be the same person in the same family,with the same friends aroud me!But,I have some regrets too.There are so many "I should have dones" to make my life much easier.However,it makes no point to regret on something that has happened in the past,what we should do is looking ahead of our life and make the future worth.That's my opinion.:)
