you have done, or not done in your life, what would it be? I know as time goes on and we all get older, there are often times when we look back, and think if only this. For me, I wish I could have been able to get a better Career so I could have a better job. I sometimes feel that even though I used to have my Own Business, that there is not enough proof for me to get a Good paying job doing more of the things I enjoy. I know there are a lot of things out there that I can do. I just wish someone could give me a chance to do it. But I guess since I am the one who is control of my life from here, it is up to me to make things happen when I would like something to change.

I would like to tell a couple of people who have now passed away how much they meant to me, I wasn't brought up to display feelings very much and I have always been a little shy but it is when someone passes away that one feels something more should have been said...one never knows when we are going to lose someone so I urge everyone do something I didn't , tell your loved ones how much they mean to you...I wish I did when I had the chance...

I can understand where you are coming from. I have lost my share of people in the last few years. I get too busy to make sure that I am communicating with them. That is my own fault.

I could have gone to school to be a doctor or a lawyer but instead I decided I wanted to be a mother. As a single mother I had quite a challenge making a living. I worked a lot of 16 or 18 hour days. The thing I would change would be the driving need to give my daughter more material things and give her more "Mama time". I was trying to make up for the fact that her natural father was not around. Even though she is 44 years old now, I try to tell her every day that I love her. Even if it a message on the pager.

There isn't a thing that I have done that I would want to go back and change. I'm not being arrogant, and I am far from thinking that I have done everything right in my life. It took me a long time to come to this conclusion, but I now know that every experience in my life, every choice that I have made has made me the person that I am. I don't exactly like the position that I am in right now, but I know that this will only serve to make me stronger in some aspect later on in life.

I would like to go back and tell my mom and dad when they were in the middle of conceiving me to pull out LOL. Or go back to when the doctor slapped me on my tushy. I am still looking for him to pay him back for hitting me LOL. No seriously if I could go back and change one thing it would be this morning I would have stayed in bed because it was hotter than hello here today. It was 102 degrees outside where I worked.But other than that I wouldn't change a thing, because destiny lead me to where I am now and my life is good I have a truly wonderful wife and four beautiful girls and one almost as handsome son as me hehehe No they are really the light of my life and would change nothing at all for the simple fact that if I was to try and go back and make things better it would only get worse. Ok maybe one thing I would change my career I always wanted to be a helicopter pilot.

I could join in and say that I wish I had been focused on mastering something so that I could have a career. I did not plan on it, in my day and age, women went to school to be secretaries, nurses and teachers, and I was not interested in those three things. I have done some of each though, in spite of myself. I would be better equipped to be financially free if I had been more focused then.

I used to think like that. But I think why should we think about past as we can't change it. Lets see what we can do in future. The thought of the thing that could have done in the past really gives you a bad feeling. So guys stop living in a past because we have no control whatsoever on past.

For me it would have been the time that I was neglectful and irresponsible of me and my girlfriend's situation. All my senses collapsed at that time and I felt like not moving. My heart wanted to move, it wanted to do what is right but my mind seemed to be so stiff and my body was so rigid that I wasn't able to what my heart desired.
