If you'll be given the chance to undo things in the past what would it be? Do you think your life would be different now if you just make the right decisions before?
Everyone of us commit mistakes in life. We sometimes lose someone that is important to us because of our wrong decisions. Though we must move on in our life we cannot deny the fact that sometimes we regret with our decisions or deeds in the past.

For me, i don't have things to be change in the past, because what i am now its because of the past, more stronger person than before, i believe things that happens in the past is meant to be happen, for us to be more aware of things and more strong person. Because of the failures of the past we learn to handle things now. Failures is normal, but there are some people, who can not accept it because of to much expectations. But if we the just think deeply about things that happens in the past, i think we can say "thank you for that things" that happen in the past.

I totally agree. I sometimes wished I had not done some things but I learned so much from doing the wrong things, or being a fool. I wouldn't change anything about my life.

I may regret decisions and choices I made, but if I didn't do those things, i wouldn't of grown as a person. I wouldn't go back and change a thing. I just look forward, not backward. If a situation needs to be fixed, i fix it. If i can't, i tried. And move on.

I dont have anything i would undo really. there are things i have considered going back and redoing differently but those decisions all built up me as i am today and i needed those lessons adn those stories to help others on their life path and to not make the same mistakes.
i would go back and fix some of the things ive said that have really hurt people. like to my mothernwhen i called her bad names during my puberty years.
or telling ym little sister i hate her when she does soemthing bad.
or my exboyfriends, telling them terrible things in a breakup.
none of these things i nesseccearily mean (some i probably did), but i would take them back and not hurt these people if i could.
but me skipping school or losing a lot of money or anything like that, i would not redo because while those things may have rtemporarily set me back at the time...those things are good for my character and my soul in the long run.
regret is common. and i have regret. but i wouldnt redo it still. regret helps us learn for the future and not repeat our pasts! it keeps us from being doomed. :)
happy mylotting.

Definitely I want to delay having a baby. I'm just in my 20s and I cannot go out and do a lot of things because I feel I have to take care of my baby all the time. I also feel regretful if I go out and leave my baby in someone else's care. I'm not saying I don't like to have children, I love being a mom. But If only I could delay it until I reach 30 years, I think I would be a great mother. I would that have time to save and prepare better.

I know how you feel. I cannot blame you if you regret that because having a baby is the hardest role in life especially when you're still young. You still have lots of dreams in life that you wan't to reach and things that you want to do. But being a good mom is not how old you are but it's how mature you are. Try to think this way, babies are blessings and He gave us them for a purpose. They can give us happiness that no one can ever do. Good luck in your life. Godbless

I would like to go back to my school days and would like to change my subject that I chose in 10th standard. I feel I should not have chosen Science with Maths and should have never become an Engineer. I would have done a lot more justice to my career by choosing Commerce.

Everything happens for a certain reason. No one is perfect. All of us would love to go back in our past to to something to correct the mistakes that they have done. But of course, in reality, there is no way to such.
I am not perfect and I have lots of things that I wanted to correct thinking that maybe my life will be different today.
I am happy and very much contented with what i have right now. I don't have everything but I have enough. So I think my answer is no, I don't want to undo the things that I have done in the past. Maybe if I did something different I would not have this kind of happiness that I have at this moment. :-)
Moving forward, every decisions that I am making right now, I see to it that I think millions of times before making it. So there will be no problems in the future. :-)

I feel it's a waste of time to dwell on such things. Mistakes are what build our character. Learning from our mistakes also helps us to grow...sometimes it may take many years before we get past the mistakes we made.
Concentrate more on NOW and being the best you can be, thinking about the past is a waste of time.

good day to you friend,
it was few days ago, when me and my bestfriend discussing this topic of yours. when she have asked me this question, i just told her that, if i will be given a chance to go back from the past or undo anything, it is the time when i was working overseas. although i am far from my family during those times, i can be sure of, that they loved me. that, there will be no fights and arguments that might happen since i am too far from them. and due to the abrupt decision that i did, then this is what i got. i am not appreciated and most of the time misunderstood. hence, my family was already used that i am away. so as my presence is not a big deal for them anymore. so now, i am doing my best to get out from home. thinking, if i will be away home again, they might give me the appreciation and the loved that i deserved. and honestly, i am praying that i can leave and landed on an overseas job again, as i am ready to loved my family from afar.

I've committed a lot of mistakes in the past which have affected my life.I would like to go to the past and go to 10th class again.In the final exam I did pretty well but I could have done a lot better if I had studied from the beginning of the year. A lot of us daydream sometimes when we are idle or at night when we can't sleep,different thoughts come up in our mind. At times like these I think about what I could have done if I got a chance to travel back in time and change things
