If you could go back

Sometimes I will dwell on mistakes I have made in my life and wonder how things would have turned out if I had made different choices. I think many of us have made mistakes but if you could go back to a time in your life to change things would you? Our life experiences have made us the people we are today so would you change anything? I definitely would go back to my early thirties and change some bad decisions I made then.

@vsai2008 Yes wouldn't it be good if we could. I would have to say sorry to a few people I think!

We learn from our mistakes and that's what makes us who we are today.

@m_audrey6788 I made some very bad decisions back in my thirties and I would like to change those because life was hard was because of them. Yes they made me stronger but they affected other people too and that's why I would like to change them.

I do think sometimes. Yet I avoid thinking about them. Whatever we experience or decide and do is our choice, we learn from every decision we take. Some good consequences some not.so good yet everything teaches us something beautiful and magnificent about ourselves and life.

@shubhu3 I wish I had done things differently when I was younger because some of the things I did have affected the way my life is now but I am a stronger person because of those mistakes.

@sprite1950 Try to see it like whatever has happened made you a better person, happier and more contented.

@shubhu3 No they definitely didn't make me more contented because they affected other people's lives too and not in a good way.

I think to learn from past is really good but we must act considering the present situation and conditions,

@abhinalstrikr Yes we can't change the course of history so we just have to learn by our mistakes and move on.

If I could go back time maybe its during the decision making for my brighter life. You see during my younger years I never consider what my life would be in the next 20 years.

@ilocosboy I don't think any of us ever do when we're young. We never think of the consequences of some of our actions.

that is why if there's the possible to be back in time, I will be wiser in making decision, so maybe I'll be rich when I'm at late 30's or early 40's.
