What if you could go back and relive the past? Make different choices based on all you know now that has happened. By the time you were done course correcting you'd wind up an ultra-sensitive, entitlement-minded, spoiled impetulant child with zero life experience. Basically...a neophyte.
In truth, if I did that, I'd be saying yes this very day to many things I have just said no to. Which incidentally is the purpose for this entry. As a reminder that no matter how much the past I have rightfully left behind tugs at me...I will not yield to it's call. I took way too many hits to do otherwise. Too many people live in vicious cycles because maybe they didn't get hit hard enough the first time out to learn the proper lesson. They keep going back to what didn't work thinking they could do it right this time "if only" they would turn right instead of left...good luck with that. If one has truly changed for the better then you can never change the past. All you can do is look ahead with the eyes and sensibilities you have today. As for me? I have new lessons to learn and old ones to build upon from new experiences. So yeah...I got some stuff to do. I'm out...later ;-)
