Have you ever?

There was a time in my life that I wished that the life before is just part of a very long dream and that someday I would wake up and lead a new life with completely different people around me being my friends and families. I don't know why but I guess I never liked who I was when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I can't remember that certain childhood but I do remember that I kept wishing for that to happen a lot of times at that age. I guess I was immature then. Now I face every challenges head on and of course try to avoid thinking about the what ifs because for sure it would just stress me out and will never be satisfied in life.

Yes, I guess it is the same for most of us. We usually think about what could have been if only.... I have those thoughts and I have my share of regrets. It's just that, it is me who picked that choice. And I guess even if I blame things on someone, I still have to accept that it is still my fault. Let's just hope for the best that one day things we like would come to reality. Maybe not the millions that we're thinking. But happiness and fulfillment in life.

I believe that things could have been different for you, but that doesn't mean that it will make you happy. Yes we need money to survive, but sometimes we need to look beyond what the world wants us to do, and see what's God purpose is in our lives, everything happens for a reason and in God's time. So be thankful whatever accomplishments you have right now, and i'm not talking about monetary or master's degree whatever, It's the simple things that makes your life worthwhile, like the smile on your kids face whenever they did something naughty, or the iloveyou's that you get everyday which are priceless, something that money or accomplishments can never buy.

I think that if there weren't times that we think about this then we wouldn't be human at all. For me, it is thinking back to a decision that I made a little bit over ten years ago. I was faced with a choice between two men and I choose the man that is now my husband. However, I've recently learned that the other man still does love me after this time. I know that if I had choosen him I wouldn't have my daughter and my son. However, I also believe that he wouldn't have been through the heartbreak that he's been through loosing two children in a house fire.

I wonder how things would have gone if i had made different decisions but i don't think about that much. You have a lot o possibilities in life. Maybe you would be making more money, maybe not. Maybe you would have been less happy. Don't think too much what might have been if you would have done something different, instead try thinking what you can do to make your life better from now on. You can't change your past, but you can still live your future :)

Yes, I think is normal to wonder, because after all we are human being. I still wonder, what would I be doing, if I had not been moved to California. Would I be better in term of relationship and money or worse. But, on the other hand, I think we decide our own destiny, what we are now because of our decision in the past. The best thing in life is for us to focus on our future, just to look back only as guidance, so we do not have to make the same mistake.

Oh yeah! I've been very very nice my whole life. Very shy. Never got married and never found anyone to live with. I was 40 and still living with my mom. I wonder had I been a little more assertive, maybe a little more confident in myself would I have found someone different. Don't get me wrong, I love the one I'm with now, she has been married twice and likes things the way they are. So I will never have a wedding to look back on. Also, this horrible situation I'm in now. I had an inerview with this guy and accepted a job telemarketing at home. There was no formal application filled out and didn't fill out any tax forms. On monday January 30th he started sending me companies to call and set appointments for him. The aggrement was I set 5 appointments a day. The pay $15.00 an hour. Now, here it is march 6th and I have not got one paycheck yet. At the time, I was on unemployment. Now here I am, 5 weeks later. I should have kept on looking for something that I go to an office. I think about this stuff alot.

I sometimes do, but oftentimes I try not to because it just doesn't turn out well for me. It gets me frustrated and reminds me always of what a waste I have done with my life. I try to move on and just make something out of everyday, and looking back at the past and thinking what I could have or have not done in situations is just not what I want to do in this stage of my life.

I have wondered the same thing many times actually. I should have finished college before having my first child. I do not regret my children at all I just wish I did things in a different order. I think I would be somewhere very different from where I am now if I did things different. It is what it is though... I am grateful I have my husband and kids. =)

It was always my fantasy to be a filmmaker, and ever since that fantasy has begun, it has always been my fantasy to make a do-over film. That is how I would want to tell my life story. What if you are given the power to go back to a certain time in your life and either do something or undo something. But of course what I would want to stress out in the movie that I will be making is that things happen for a reason whether it's good or bad, and it is meant to teach us something. If we have the power to change everything that has happened in the past, then there's just no room for us to learn the consequences of our actions, and how to be responsible for making them. There's just no way we can live in a perfect world where we get to always have what we hope for or change the things we didn't like. For the fun of it, the things I would probably change would be the university that I went to. One other things is is that I would go back and ask my first love how she felt about me, so I would stop wondering about the whatifs and the whatcouldhavebeens. But then again, that's just for the fun of it.

Yes I do that also but not all the time. I would just wonder if things would be different if I made a different decision with the my choice in my career.What my life would be like? Will I be successful now if that was my choice. I think all people at one point or the other thinks that way. Because I do not believe that a person has no regrets in life. That is why we look back and wonder what if?. It does not necessarily harbor a hurtful feeling but it is still in some way a regretful feeling.And for me it is ok to look back and wonder as long as you are able to get pass it and move on with life. Life reflections is necessary to make better decisions in the future. Because you are able to realize that mistakes you've made in the past and will not likely to commit the same in the future.

I have thought that, then I really look at my life and realize that it is the life for me. I have no regrets about the life I have lived. I have a wonderful husband, two great kids and 11 grandkids that are amazing. I am young enough and healthy enough to enjoy my life to the fullest and for that I have to thank God.

I wonder how things would have gone if i had made different decisions but i don't think about that much. You have a lot o possibilities in life. Maybe you would be making more money, maybe not. Maybe you would have been less happy. Don't think too much what might have been if you would have done something different, instead try thinking what you can do to make your life better from now on. You can change your past, but you can still live your future :)

YES, all the time. I wonder what it would be like if I just got an A- instead of a B+ on my first semester grades so I would be in English Honors in freshmen year. And that time, I had a 89.99% -___- Or what would happen if didn't quit swimming classes. Would I be a top swimmer? There's so many things about 'what it would be like' wandering around my head that I can't list them all here. But things always happen like this. Especially when I give up on something. Have you seen the picture where a miner was excitedly mining and when he was right about to strike a diamond, he gave up and turned back. It makes me agitated and makes me wonder what kind of person I would be like. I mostly complain in my head; thinking 'ugh I probably could be famous now if I just "_____" But things happen for a reason, lol.

I was thinking should I considered working abroad before, I might have a prosperous life. The question is should I have a beautifuL family like this if I went abroad the passed years? I somehow envy those who are making good at other countries but this was the fate I had so maybe I could just make the most of what I have and improve for the better.
