what would you do different now?
 

So, knowing what you know now, what would you do different in your past? How would it alter your present?

I would have come out alot sooner than I did (was in my 30s)

I would have been easier on my parents and kinder to them. We had our conflicts and I thought they were too hard on me. Now I know they probably needed to be!

I would have had more than one child. I loved having an only child, but seeing how wonderful it is to have two grand daughters, I think I would have loved having two children!

Find her sooner ...so I could have made her happier longer

With knowledge I have now, I'd choose a different degree. I'd know I wasn't doing the right thing. I'd be cruel to be kind. And I'd not let nasty people get close to me.

I'd stop eating meat products. Today I took a huge step toward eliminating meat from my diet.

I stopped loving bacon, today.

I took all that expensive stuff out to the trash bin. I hope to be meat free before summer is over.

Yes, Martina, exactly. :rrose::rrose::rrose:

I was invoking George Jones and quietly singing that song, as I took all that bacon out to the trash.

I would have never let her get that close knowing she would have to go

I would have never quit my job back in October.

If I could change one thing it would be to stop second guessing myself and to listen to my intuition because I know the answers. I would also not let others pressure me into making decisions that were not in my best interest. I would also have explored my gifts, followed my dreams and lived life for me and not others. With that being said if I did things differently would that also make me a different person today? :confused:

Oh gosh, so much!!!!!!!!!!!

I would have put more into my 401K plan. Almost to late to start now. Guess I will just work til I die

Honestly, it is never too late.

As long as you are healthy enough to work, pack away as much as you can, because it never will be enough for the average person.

Unless you are fortunate enough to inherit money and most of us won't be (I am out of the will).

Life has a funny way of turning on a dime.

Not a damn thing. I'm who I am because of my choices, whether wise or not.

However, if I could give advice to my younger self (or my daughter, who has heard this), it would be to not be afraid to make choices that feel right. You make the best decision you can with the information you have at that moment.

I do wish I had taken my health less for granted, though. It's more difficult (not impossible) to change habits when you're at midlife.

I'd have eaten dessert first.
