What would you redo in your life?
I would have made a lot of different choices in my life for sure! Some of the things I have done in the past. Some choices that, now when I look back at them, I wondered what the heck was I thinking?!
Has that ever happened to you? If so, what would you reconsider doing differently?
One thing I would have reconsidered was leaving a previous job as early as I did, having worked there already for three years, prior to the one I took before my now current position! Whew, that’s a mouthful! Circumstances dictated my departure from that position, but I could have stuck it out a bit longer and handled what was going on!
Also, not making the decision to go home earlier to see my father, the first time he became ill. I thought I had enough time, and now I wish that I had dropped everything to go to him instead of just talking on the phone and keeping tabs that way. I was booked for a later flight at the end of the month, the next year; it was December of the previous year then. He died two weeks prior to my visit.
There are other things I would have changed. Some involves too much detailed explanations, and too painful to revisit. However, there’s one thing I’m sure of and decided not to do, to sit and live in regret.
I've come to realized that what has happened in my life, the good, the bad, and the ugly, happened, and I have learned from them. Some for the better, some to my detriment, others, I swear I repeat some of the times! But living in regret is something I am learning to undo because it doesn’t do me any good. This is another of my resolutions!
Sometimes it’s hard not to wonder how much different life would be right now! Moving on is always good; better for one’s health and outlook on life. I can reflect and feel fewer burdens and be more enlightened.
But boy oh boy, if I knew then what I know now…..
