If you could go back and change the biggest mistake you have made in your life..

Since it is a big mistake and I am still suffering about it I dont like to talk about it much. Yes there is a moment in my life where I wish I was still with a close friend. We have fallen out several years ago.

i do not think there is any point in looking back because you cannot change the past. it is over and done with. do i regret things? YES!!! would i do things differently? YES!!!! but i need to stay focused in the here and now because i have too much on my plate as it is. if i reflect too much on the past i will be paralyzed here and not able to move forward.

I guess everything is as it is supposed to be. I would be afraid that by changing something in the past, I might alter something in my future that I might regret. I think every little thing no matter how seemingly insignificant impacts either our lives or the lives of someone else. We face tough decisions everyday and we make plenty of mistakes, but we never no who all if positively or negatively affected by our actions so better to leave well enough alone.

Yes if given a chance i would like to change/delete something from my past.

We have the same outlook in life. Like you, I wouldn't go back and change the biggest mistake I made in my life. As for me, I have this opportunity of going to Canada when I was still single. The cousin of my boss would convince me to apply for a visa since his friend has an agency. We have all the opportunities but I backed out. Somehow, sometimes, I regret. But what I tell myself now is, "That must be God's will". If at that time I go, I wouldn't have met my husband and have my three kids. Hahaha, just like you. My children are my angels, they are my millions. I might have earned so much money in Canada, but I don't think I'll have children by this time like my own. Yeah, you're right. Our lives would have been so much different if not with these mistakes.... if we can call them mistakes. :) Regards... i'll add you up!

Hi kymommy72, Oh yes there are many many many MANY things i regret doing in my past life and would go back if i could, to change it! One of the small ones would be accidentally spreading secrets when i was younger in high school! It did break harm my friendships with other friends and i do regret it.

No i dont want to erase anything in my life , i would like to move forward on with this , failures and bad instance in life will make us strong and prepare us for the good things and help us to be successful person in life , this is what i believe all will learn from their mistakes so why erasing them? i want to be a good testimony in life for the bad things and now good things happening..

I wont really say it is a big mistake but if there is one thing I want to change, it's my relationship between my mom and I.

Hello, kymommy72! I wouldn't go back and change anything at all. Yes, I have made many mistakes in my life. Big mistakes, small mistakes. Yet, I wouldn't be who I am today if I didn't make them. My life wouldn't be my life without my own mistakes. How would I learn if I didn't make mistakes? Who would I be without them? Another person, that's the answer. I don't think I should be ashamed of my mistakes. It just shows how human I am. Yes, there are many times when we regret things we have done... And regret is the worst feeling we can have, in my opinion. You can be hurt by love, miss somebody you love, be sad for a moment, and still you will get over it. After all, you know it is not your fault completely. Now, when you regret, you see your own mistake, you see how stupid you were at that time. You see yourself doing something that you really wish you didn't do. Yet, you would just do it again if you went back and jumped that mistake. After all, we learn by making them! Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I have done major mistakes in my past, but I am a firm believer of "whatever happens happens for good" and "God has a better plan for me". So i never would like to go and change my past. However I make it it a point to learn from my mistakes and try not to repeat them. Till now things are going on well with this philosophy. Take Care and God Bless.

I made major mistakes in my life but I also learned from them. Like what's always being said, what won't kill you will make you stronger. At this point, there's nothing in my past that I want to change. My past made me who I am now. I think whatever mistakes I made, they may me a better person. The important things is you know how to recover again after a mistake.

I probably wouldn't change a thing because I agree, everything I have done has lead me to the decisions that I made later on in life and I might not be with my husband today if I were to change the past. He's a wonderful and loving husband and so, I would be really be lost without him...

I think for every reason it takes there's no need to go back in time and clean up the mess. That way we are not gonna learn from mistakes. I'm sure it very painful enough to deal over what we've done but that life. Otherwise we are not changing anything actually. It makes the situatiom longer. Everybody makes mistakes and from that we learn not to make another one in the future. That's what the past is all about...the future.

for me i go back in time to get with a beautiful girl that i knew for 2 years and i let her leave :(

I would have to say I would never get involved with the man who became my husband from whom I've been divorced for 19 years. Of course, I wouldn't have my two kids and many other things would be different, but if I knew enough to change that situation, I'd know where to go from there to change others, I think.

Hi Kymommy I'm also not in favor of travelling back. I like to look ahead. If I had committed any mistake in the past, I already had learned a lesson which helped me to build up my personality. Now if i go back to my past and rectify my faults, my current personality which is based on the leassons I have learnt, will be distorted. So better look forward.
