    i subscribe to the "Everything happens for a reason" theory so i honestly can't think of anything i would have done differently. if i had, i might not be where i am today, and i love where i am today. :smile:

    Putting up with my abusive ex husband for as long as I did.... and not listening to my father when I was younger.. :/

    I'm happy to hear that he is now your ex.

    I second that! Kudos to you for leaving him.

    Not becoming a Rally Race Car Driver.

    That and not being able to remember why I smoked that first cigarette and why it wasn't my last.
    Everything is so much better without those b*tch*s.

    Oh this is really got me thinking... and many of the things I have done (and continue to do) have caused pain to myself and others. Do I think they are mistakes? Not sure, some yes, but I can see why I did what I do most of the time. I would like to think that I work hard towards forgiving myself for the past and learning from the situations that I come across where I have to make choices..

    I think there is a nicer way of asking this which could be:

    What is the biggest lesson you have learned ?

    What do you guys think?

    I'd say it was not making fitness and health more of a priority when I was younger. I wish I'd have made changes sooner in life!

    My biggest mistake in life was taking my mind off the bigger picture and completely blowing it with making bad small decisions, instead of smart long-term ones.

    I regret not starting my fitness journey sooner. It would have made my high school years more rewarding since I wouldn't have been that self-conscious kid :( Oh well, I can't go back now!

    I don't see anything as a mistake. Just an opportunity to learn and grow. And I'm sure some of my opportunities would be mistakes in the eyes of other people.

    I don't really believe in mistakes as they shape us and mold us into who were are today...but:

    There was this one time that I faked a military ID...turned out that it was a felony because it was a federal document. Cost me some promotions because I couldn't get the higher security clearances.

    How bout you Kim?

    Ah Bubble Gum.....you called me out on my own post! lol Can't believe I'm going to put it out there, but my biggest mistake in my life *sigh* *deep breath* was having an affair. I regret it every day and it haunts me. I feel like I've let everyone down, including myself. It's done and over with, but it can't be erased. Never again....

    Divorcing my first husband.....biggest mistake I ever made in my life, which ultimately caused me to make a LOT of smaller mistakes.

    Putting work first when I started college. My grades fell, I skipped semesters to work more and put my education off all because they " needed" me and promised me things that never came to be. The day I quit to pursue my higher education and my dreams was the best day of my life.
