Would you change your life??

I just read a start of a facebook post “If I could start the year over I would change ______” and each person is prompted to fill in the blank. Unfortunately, that blank is too small for most people. What would you change if you could start the year over? A lot of people said that they would change nothing, but some of the others I read, were more involved than that.

So many wished they could renew love, return loved ones from death, go to the doctor, and pay their bills. Some would change their lives completely, some would just change a few reactions to situations and some would want to reverse decisions that they made that had negative outcomes…my thoughts on this?

I would love nothing more than to change some of the things I said, did and the way I reacted. I would love to bring back all of the children who dies unnecessarily, I would love to protect those around me from the harm they were about to endure.

But the simple question is that if I were able to begin the year again and change everything, would I actually do it? I can only change me, who I am, I can’t change others and am not responsible nor able to control how other people are. I can’t learn from mistakes that I don’t make, therefore I am bound to make them at some point, why not have made them this year when I am still young enough to change next year?

This question leaved me to think back to everything I did over the past year and try and pinpoint exactly where I went wrong, and try to decipher what exactly I was even capable of changing…and to be blunt; I couldn’t change a thing even if I wanted to. And then, If I could, would it be worth it to have to endure it later on in life?

If you could change the course of your life over the past year, would you?
