Sometimes i really wish that in the past i would have known the things that i know now. If i would have known maybe i could have done things differently and maybe things would not be the way they are to day. I wish i would have none then the things i know now. Have you are felt this way?

Lessons wont be learned hard if you knew what you didn't then. Experience won't be worth the while if you knew what you would have experience before you did.
Although we have some psychic potentials to know what will happen in the future, so we can prepare and avoid what we don't wish to happen. The challenge and the beauty in life is going through our everyday life with the best we can do, learning each lesson our experience teach so we can share them to those who had not have the chance to experience. Choosing to be happy and live life the best we can, with no regrets, knowing we did the best we knew how, each day we do what we do.

It is not healthy to live your life in regret. You did what you did with what you knew at the time. No one is born knowing everything and we all have some regrets, but it does no good to dwell on them. We have to focus on them long enough to learn the lesson and move on.
Everything in life happens for a reason. I know for me if I focused on all my regrets, I would never do anything else. We all mistakes when we are learning. When a child is first born, they are a blank slate. They grow and learn and make many mistakes along the way, that is what life is all about.
Believe me when I tell you that your life was and is exactly how it should have been because nothing happens outside of Gods will. He is always in control. Things happen for different reasons, but we all have suffering and hard times. No one has the perfect life, because no one is perfect.
Go forward with you life and ten years from now you'll be wishing that you knew now what you'll know by then. We receive new knowledge as our minds can handle it. You may have heard a lot of the same things before, but your mind was not able to process it before.
Lighten up and take it easy, you have not missed out on anything that was suppose to happen in your life. You may think that if you had done this or that, things would be this way or that way, but the truth of the matter is, you life is, was, and will be, exactly the way if should be.
In a movie not to long ago, I heard a saying that I hope to never forget. The guy said, If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas. In other words, everyone has tons of ifs, but life is not perfect, we are not perfect, yet we exist, so we make the best of the life we were given and that is all anyone can do.

Hi Kat, Oh yes I understand you and I wish this as well, I certainly have felt like this and then I would not of done a lot of the things that I did in my life but then again we do have to try and learn from the things that we have been through in our lives and hopefully progress in a more positive way.

if that's the way you feel about your past, regretting that if you have done it in a different way you wouldn't be who you are today then i guess you know who you will be in the future, still looking back and asking yourself "WHAT IF..".everything that you decided to do yesterday was perfect because you are what you are today, if you knew your short comings before then you know what to do the next time it happens.don't look back and don't look to far in the future ,it might only create too much worries.what matters is today , do what you have to do today because you only have less than 18 hours to do it.live today and never regret what you have decided to do, everything is alright.

I am on the contrary,haha!
I think if we know everythings then there will be no funny or feeling of success.yes,if we know earlier,then we can do correct things,but actually,we can not distinguish right or wrong.because unknow,there are so many possibility.
