Have you ever had a moment where you stop and look around wondering how you got to where you are? What decisions from your past put you there? What would the results have been if the decisions had gone a different way?Would you make those decisions again?
All I can do is to evolve within myself. To take a look at obstacles that I look at as opportunities.
I focus on the present not the past. I look to enjoy everything that this life has to offer. It's a great life !!
I constantly find myself examining my life and wondering if the decisions I made were right and if a different decision would have resulted in a more favorable outcome.
I think my decisions as a young adult were a direct influence of my upbringing. I am so far away from who I was back then.
I can honestly say that I have made life decisions that I most certainly would do differently if I could go back in time and have opportunity for a redo.
Live and learn....
I try to live by the practice of “at that particular point in time when the decision was made it was the right decision for me”. Otherwise I would drive myself nuts with the what if’s! Now, that being said, it does drive my future decisions as I think about things. Especially 5 and 10 year plans. And such!!! Don’t dwell in the past and make decisions in the future to support your goals or wants now!!!!!
I just answered this question earlier today. Chemo or death in 3 weeks. Easy choice.
