If you knew then what you know now, what would you change?

The only thing I could think of changing is how hard I tried in school. I definitely would have paid more attention! I also would have made sure I got help for my depression long before I did! I would be afraid of changing things even if it were possible. I wouldn't have my children if I had made different choices.

If I knew then, what I know now, I wouldn't be crippled. I was attacked and nearly killed because of an impulse move I made. Now, I have permanent back problems that have left me crippled. There are days I can barely move. Nothing positive at all came out of this move, only negative things.

I have thought about this an awful lot, probably more than is healthy for a well-adjusted human to do. But then again who said I was well adjusted? Looking back on my life, I see certain nexus points, places where if I would have taken the road not taken (a la Robert Frost) my life would be completely different. I don't know if it would be better or not, but I suspect it that would be. My list of changes would follow this progression: 1) I would have stayed in school. I wouldn't have dropped out of high school, and I would have went straight into college. I did eventually go back to school and to college, but I don't have the degree's I want and probably never will due to age and finnancial circumstances. This set me waaay back in the game of life. 2) There is a certain girl I should have chased much harder. If I wouldn't have rolled over so easy things may have worked out. Of course they may not have also, but I regret that I will never know, because she was very special and I was just too shy and confused to take the steps to find out. 3) There are certain issues I should dealth with more responsibly that I won't go into detail on, but I think ultimately these would have been the most life altering. I'm not sure this is healthy, so I'm not going to go on, but really I think I covered the major issues anyways...

If there were a way to take back some of the things I have said to people I would definitely do it. There are so many things I would do differently if I knew what I do now. I would avoid credit card debts and abusive relationships. I wouldn't have given up so easily on things that I truly cared about. I wonder sometimes where I would be if I had made different choices but there is no guarantee that things would be any better than they are now.

If I could go back and change something, I would prevent myself from getting enrolled in this college I am currently going to. I do not like how focus it is on training students to be artists, when what I wanted was game design. I would also begin my making money online journey when I was about 15. That way, by the time I get to today, I would have enough money saved up so I can join a program like Reverse Funnel System and make thousands a month.

If I knew then what I know now I would have choosen a different career. Also I most definately would not have looked up to some of the poeple I held in high esteem as I did when I was younger. These poeple have proven to be false and have one rule for their children and one for other poeples children. I have learnt to be far more careful of person who portray an upright attitude. They tend to influence especially youngsters with an impressionable mind to believe one thing but later when the same princeples would apply to their children then their true nature is displayed.

It's a silly saying really, to my mind, because you could never have known way back when, what you know now. End of story. However, if we could turn back time, would we do anything differently? I don't think I would. The lessons are there to be learned and learn I did. Some of the lessons were difficult, but I still learned something from failing them, and I had the opportunity to put them right the next time the lesson came around. So... no, I don't use that phrase anyway, and if I could go back, I would do it all again! Brightest Blessings.

I have had a Great Life, and I'm 74! I believe there are No Accidents, No Happenings, and No such thing as Chance. Its all Part of the Grand Design. I believe we create our lives moment by moment by the thoughts we entertain. If you go through life with a Good attitude, loving thoughts, and outgoing peronality you will have a good happy life. Don't get caught up in Religion, but believe your beliefs and doubt your doubts, you won't go far wrong. I wouldn't have changed my life one little Iota!

Well the things I would change are beyond my control even if the clock was turned back. However I would apply myself more academically if I had the chance.

I once talked to a psychologist, and he said that the only mistakes in life are the events that teach you absolutely nothing. As much as I'd like some events to change, I wouldn't be this person if I could cut and paste my life to perfection. I've experienced pain, and I've learned from that pain. Like you said, you have two beautiful boys. You can't know what would have happened if you'd taken another path. However, from having those two boys, you've changed as a mother and a person. It's up to you whether or not you regret that, but I seriously doubt that you've learned absolutely nothing.
