Did you ever wonder how your life would be different if you made just one decision differently? I think about this occasionally, and the different paths my life could have taken, and still could take, are limitless.

I do. Yes. I think my lfie will be different if I took education in Art and Computer rather than Accounting. I would have had my own business earlier, since the demands for creativity are high these days. Now people can buy Accounting software you don't really need Accountants unless for audit.

I consider this all the time. Like if I had of gone to a different college I would have never met my (soon to be) ex-wife, I would have saved myself alot of heartache, but I would have never had my daughter either. There have been a number of crucial turning points in my life, and I have considered how things would be different if I had of just done one thing differently at various points. In the end it doesn't matter, what matters is how you live your life from this moment on.

I also think about this a lot but then i think about the thing that have happened in my life and if certain things hadnt happened then maybe i would be in a different situation now, for instance if i didnt married my husband i wouldnt have the children i have or the grandchildren, if i didnt buy a pc i wouldnt have lots of online friends, if i hadnt gone shopping today i wouldnt have met a friend i hadnt seen for a long time, this friend would also not be my friend as she was my husbands friends wife, I belive your life is planned from the day your born how you handle situations and circumstances is a different matter. tc

I think it's natural and human to ask this question. we are always wondering 'what if'. My life is actually full of bad choices, ones I wish i didn't make. Even though at the time it seemed like the right thing to do. Hindsight, I suppose. But there is no changing it now so we must except what we have in front of us.
