Do you have any regrets about things you've done? ( Archived) (74)

Oct 4, 2008 9:19 PM CST Do you have any regrets about things you've done?
I've listened many times people saying,If I wouldn't have done that or this,things would be different.....

Do you have any regrets about things you've done or haven't done?

What if....you could live your life over again?

What things you would do differently and what things you would do exactly the same.

Try to finish college when I was attending. It was hard back then, but I wish I found a way.

Ah...didn't we have this one recently?

Still, nice to repeat, and we have newbies on here and others who don't always come on...so, it'll be different.

There are things that I wish I had or hadn't done...but then, to change the past would change what happened afterward...so, no, I wouldn't change anything because there are things that happened later that might not have.

I would have kicked my husband out of the house,instead of me being the one to give it all up and, my kids wouldn't have gone to grandpa's and got abused by his new wife.
And our lives would have been better cause I could have paid off what we had left owed on that house easily and the kids wouldn't have gone thru as much trama, not to mention my own self. I would've stayed where I could've went back to work and been around friends.

And although my heart was broken at least it wouldn't have been feeling for the pain my children had to endure for 5 years, while I fought to protect them. I diffenently would have thought more of them than my pain of a cheating manipulating husband.doh

But it's all past and my kids are grown and I am so proud of them and now they are becoming parents. Wow they have all my morals and belief's and love , so on second thought NOPE I don't want to go back and change a thing. This was our path and we made it thru it.teddybear

think I have said it many times over the time I have been on C.S. but there are many newbies these days, so..... nope to tell the truth, no regrets, good bad and otherwise, I would change nothing. it makes me who, and what I am and I am compleatly happy with that.

one of the most painful experiences I had was the end of my marrage, but if I hadn't gone throught the whole thing I wouldnt have the relationship I have with my kids, and grandson, they are my life.

Yes, this is my point...everything happens for a reason, and it's all part of our Path.

I believe we choose our lessons and challenges to learn them before we come into this world...and the choices we make along the way either help us or hurt us on that Path...but it all happens for a reason. To me, the whole point of our existence here is soul growth. bowing

There are several regrets in my life I've made..... like

If I could live my life over again I wouldn't had got married so soon after graduating from high school.

I wouldn't had taken so many people for granted in my life like my friends and family.

I would've listened more to a particular person and talked less instead of being so stubborn and always tried to do things my way.

I think I would've aplogized more and not held grudges.

I would've addmited to my flaws more often instead of trying to hide them.

Those things that you would've have changed if you could are things of wisdom, things you can share with others so they too can learn , and learn from your mistakes. It's why our paths are so unique and special we all bring something special too others.hug applause

My theme song for my life is I Am Woman, for the fact that I relate totally to what Helen Reddy sings:

You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

Mine is this..

By Tesla
Took a shot to the chin.
Looks like you just can't win
In this do or die situation.
And it's harder than it seems
To survive, keep alive and make your dreams,
Make your dreams all come true.

You gotta, you gotta give it your best shot.
Give it everything you got.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hang tough. Hang tough.

Sometimes love can make you blue.
A heartache made just for you.
But you can't let it bring ya down.
If you should stumble, if you should fall,
Pick yourself up off the floor.
Fight for what's right and stand your ground.

You gotta give it your best shot.
Give it everything you got.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hang tough. Hang tough.
When the goin' gets rough.
Hang tough. You got to give it all you've got.
Hang tough. Keep your head above the ground.
Don't you let it get you down.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hey! Oh! Hey! Oh!

You stay locked away inside your room
'Cause you don't know what this world is comin' to.
Hummingbird hums 'cause he don't know the words
And the piper will play 'cause he don't know what to say.
He's alot like you, yeah. Oh, he's alot like you, yeah.
He tries hard ev'ry day to be free and fly away. Yeah!

Hang tough, oh, when the goin' gets rough.
Hang tough. You've got to give it all you got.
Hang tough. Keep your head above the ground.
Don't you let it get you down.
Oh, you gotta hang tough.

Hang tough. Oh, you got to give it all you got. You gotta
Hang tough. Don't you let it get you down.
Hang tough. No! Oh, you gotta hang tough.
Hang tough.
Hang tough

Mine is.....


Im A Survivor - Reba Mcentire


I was born three months to early
the doctor gave me thirty days
But I must've had my mama's will
And Gods amazing grace

I guess I'll keep on livin
Even if this loves to die for
Cause your bags are packed and I aint cryin
Youre walking out and Im not trying
To change your mind cause I was born to be


The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who oughta give up,but shes just
too hard headed!
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter
Im a survivor

I dont believe in self pity
It only brings you down
may be the queen of broken hearts
but i dont hide behind the crown
when the deck is stacked against me
I just play a diffrent game
My roots are planted in the past
and though my life is changing fast
who i am is who i wanna be

A single mom who works two jobs
who loves her kids and never stops
with gentle hands and a heart of a fighter
Im a survivor

But I mustve had my mamas will
And Gods amazing grace
