What would you do?

I would be less stubborn and prideful. When you're stubborn and prideful. Very little is insightful.

    Wouldn't have let people walk all over me as long as I did. I was in college when I had had enough (sooo like 10 years ago :cry: )

    I would have done what was in MY BEST INTEREST and not put everyone else's WANTS ahead of my NEEDS. I wouldn't be so concerned with what people thought of me. So happy I finally woke up and started living my life this way.. .better late than never!

    I know it's the clique answer, but nothing.

    Everything I have ever done in my life up until this point has taught me a lesson. I am broken, but I am a better person because of every mistake, every heartbreak, and every tear I cried was worth it.

    I would have gained more knowledge and frankly, not eat that white rice + soy sauce mostly everyday even when I wasn't hungry. That caused me to bloat up and gain weight like crazy.

    This. I just would've started working out sooner and more consistently.

    and if I could have that chance knowing what I know now, I'd correct everything I now regret. Having regrets saddens me.

    This might be off topic, and I apologize.

    However, I can't let this opportunity pass without speaking my mind.

    You see in the 1970's I wanted a 1970 Plymouth HemiCuda, and decided not to rob a bank to get one.

    Looking back, it may have been worth the risk, for a car that is now worth 3 million dollars.

    Sorry for the rant, we now return you to you regularly scheduled programming.

    This makes me sad.

    The one thing I would really like to change about my life is the final conversation I had with my mom before she passed. It wasn't a bad conversation, but it could have been much better. I could have actually expressed to her that I missed her and that I loved her but I didn't.

    I would have never had too much to drink, never have gotten upset with my wife and said things I wish I could take back........and I'd be holding her tonight, and tucking in my little girl, instead of sitting here alone.

    If I had a second chance I'd push my way to the top in everything I did instead of following the herd. It wasnt until now, in my 30's that I learned to get to the top, to be the best at what you do you have to push your way, climb and knock down everything that gets in your way. Others will try to pull you down and keep you with the herd, but you have to be that bull, that alpha that just wont stay with the pack.

    I would go back in my twenties and do what I am doing now as far as health and fitness goes. I would also change a few things in High School, but as far as my personal life goes, changing anything in the past may have changed those beautiful things that I have now... My Children & Grandchildren! I LOVE MY LIFE & THE BEAUTIFUL BLESSINGS IN IT!!! :heart:

    I think the biggest thing I would go back and change would be my confidence level and the choices I made concerning schooling. I would stand up for myself and let go of the little things

    I wouldn't be so shy. My shyness stopped me from accomplishing many things in my youth.

    SO true. Heck I'd love to be better about that still but I've come a long way!
