Is there an opportunity you passed up that you wish you could go back and take up?

Re: if you could go back
Wed, December 19, 2007 - 11:56 AMI have no time for regrets so no - I wouldn't do anything different.
Besides, we never die - we EVOLVE.
We have eternity to get it right....

Re: if you could go back
Wed, December 19, 2007 - 12:03 PMI would have gone to my cousins wedding in England instead of Burning Man this past year. I felt a wee bit guilty when I got a picture of the whole family together minus me. I also would take back any physical and emotional harm I caused. (but I guess we learn from these mistakes don't we?) -

Wed, December 19, 2007 - 12:34 PMNo... but I would have liked to have been evaluated, diagnosed, and placed on venlafaxine when it was first approved by the FDA.

Re: if you could go back
Wed, December 19, 2007 - 3:24 PMWhat a great question. I don't think I have any regrets that I'd like to take back; however, if I had my life to live over again, knowing what I know now, so many things would be changed that my life wouldn't resemble itself. The paradox is that, I think that it would open up so many new twists, that it's impossible to know about doing something I might regret again. Does that make sense? Over all, would I have a better life, or is there a possibility for a disastrous fate? If this "going back" was possible, and say......I re-played the lotto, would my numbers that I picked be the same? or would ramdom chance deal me new ones?....Hummm......I conclude that fate is reset, instant by instant and it's too bad that there is no going back before this this very instant.
Well, to answer your question, maybe I should have purchased stock in Microsoft way back when........

Sat, December 22, 2007 - 1:43 PMwow, TONS!!! ( my personal motto is, If you have no regrets, youre not really living, gota risk mistakes to go outside our comfort zones, and im my comfort zones worst enemy, lol)
Lessee, woulda gone straight to college, woulda gone straight to Md and married my current love, like just jumped her and carried her off, lol, might have killed a guy if i had an escape route, he was a bastard and he deserves it, would have stuck to my museum job if at all possible, and maybe transferred to one in Md, geez lots of stuff.

Re: if you could go back
Mon, December 24, 2007 - 6:10 AMI'm kind of one of those people who believe "if it's behind me it doesn't matter". It's what I'm doing now that I have trouble focusing on. LOL!

Re: if you could go back
Mon, December 24, 2007 - 11:00 AMI've lead an amazing life, and more to come.
I had my highest of highs and lowest of lows, and so it shall continue.
In my teens and early 20's I wasted so much time with regrets, letting them spin in my head to only hinder me. I evolved and learned from my mistakes. I don't believe in finding despair in my regrets. I now know, with each mistake or fumble i can do way better. Past regrets have fueled me forward and the unkown is now welcomed and I sure as hell ain't gonna miss an opportunity to live a little more fully each minute, hour, day and so on....

Re: if you could go back
Tue, December 25, 2007 - 6:43 PMI go back every day...
In my thoughts.
Over and over...again...
Again, and again, until I realize that I don't want to go back anymore.

Re: if you could go back
Sat, January 19, 2008 - 10:06 PMI don't look back on things as opportunities I missed so much as roads that I chose not to take. I haven't made any mistakes, just decisions. Some better than others. And if I were to go back and select a different path, I would feel as if I didn't appreciate where the roads I did choose have led me.
So I suppose if I could go back and stare at the same opportunities in the face, I would make the exact same choices, as a way of celebrating the life I am so blessed to have today.

Re: if you could go back
Sat, January 19, 2008 - 10:34 PMI'm on the fence with this one ... all of the events as they unfolded helped to shape who I am today and I like who I am, so no, I wouldn't change a thing .... on the other hand, had I asked this woman to marry me and she said yes or not been afraid to quit my job and start a new business, etc etc, things might be completely different ... so yes, there are things I wish I had done. -

Re: if you could go back
Tue, January 22, 2008 - 1:09 AMI never look back.
I've done what I've done, and usually I don't regret it which doesn't mean I've done the right thing and so on but I like my integrity.
Life/fate is taking me on such a journey

Re: if you could go back
Sat, February 9, 2008 - 3:57 PMI wish I would have gone into the Air Force out of high school despite my parents wishes, instead of going to a local college while still living at home.
