If you could do it over??

[Stanfi]

If you could live your life over, exactly has it happened without any changes, would you do it?

For me the answer is no way.

If you could live your life overactly, exactly has it happened would you do it?
For me the answer is no way.

I would be very hesitant in doing so. I would worry that if I changed one small detail in my life now, would I loose my husband, my kids and the life that I have now. I am happy with things as they are now. If I had a guarantee that things wouldn't change in my present, then sure I would change a few things. Especially all the bad things that have happened to me.

What about you.....would you change things Mrstace???

Depends on what I am going through at the moment ! Though if it meant not having my precious children then no.

[Psalms34]

Well after the suicidal feeling and then coming to grips that lives of others must be impacted for the good all over again. I guess…

I would change a lot of things............

I don't think he said change things, it's an exact repeat. Changing things is a whole other thing.

 

[Oblivious]

I'm very happy with my life. If I had to change one thing, I would have went to college. But then, that would have changed everything and I wouldn't have my husband and the friends I have now.

 

[romaneagle13]

I'd want to change only one thing. I'd watch the weight gain around the age of 11. I'm about 80 pounds overweight and wish I'd never let it happen. But with God's help I hope to lose at least 50 pounds next year.

Yeah I would do everything else over.
All of it as a teen.
But then again, I wouldn't be the person that I am today.
God has reasons and purpose for my being like I am today!

No, I wouldn't. Not because it was bad but because I would be afraid I would mess things up if I got a second chance. I made plenty of mistakes first time around but I wouldn't change any of it because I am happy where I am at right now.

 

[Veiled Viper]

I couldn't go through all that again!
I put my mom through Hell with the drugs,alcohol and rebellion.
I spent many miserable,depressing days alone with myself.
I made too many bad decisions.
I came close to death many times.
And school was just a big drag to me.
By God's grace am I alive today.

If I could have another chance at growing up,I'd like it to be as a happy person.

this is a difficult one :

I did not have a happy childhood coming from a poor background with a dominant father and this carried on in my life till I got married and even now it is still a struggle keeping my parents out of our marriage, but I have a nice wife and two lovely children, a good job and a house so why change it....

so if your question would be to do it over from birth when I would be able to choose other parents for me I would say yes

do it over from the day after I got married I would say yes also to avoid or rectify some of the wrong decisions I/we made (but will I have those two lovely children then ?)

I believe it is no use crying over spilled milk and better to get on with live, actively trying to make the best of it by your own actions rather than passively accepting what lives throws at you.

I, like Knight, did not make wise choices and had a very rough time. I have thought about this question before. I think God had a plan in my life. I don't think He wanted me to deny Him. I don't think He wanted me to mock and scorn. I don't think He wanted me to do a lot of the things that I did, but I do think His plan included me growing through all of that stuff. I would not be the person I am today if I hadn't been who I was then.

Bad choices on my part? Yes
Grace on His part? Yes

 

[JPPT1974]

I would rather be more of a happy and content person
Not have to face puberty
But I guess we all have to face it once or twice in our lives
As well as lean on the Lord much more.

 

[Im-revived]

Wow No Way!!!!!!!!

 

[JPPT1974]

I think maybe because of it, I am the person that God wants me to be today.
If you know what I mean.

 

[Im-revived]

Seriously, No chance!!!!!

 

[Stanfi]

Seriously, No chance!!!!!

My sentiments exactly.

Eat to live instead of live to eat.

I dare not change anything that I have lived through and experienced, because I would be changed and not the person I currently am. I may not even recognize myself.

The things I would change are those very things God used to mold me into the man I am. I cannot, I dare not mess up what He has arranged
