Have you ever thought that if you could just go back to one specific point in time, you would make a completely different choice, and this would change the path of your life that lead to where it is now?
I have several of those specific points.
Sometimes I find myself in a position where I am actually mad at myself for choices I made. Not that they were ones where I was in trouble or danger. Just choices where the heart was over the head. I found myself in a desperate spot where staying seemed like the only choice. I look back now, and wish I could tell the foolish girl that I was to stop and think. I would tell her that there is so much more than the little world she is in at the moment.
I fear that some choices I made are causing effects that are trickling down upon my children now. One of the best things I can do is always be honest with them. Tell them that nobody is worth sacrificing your own happiness. I have to make sure they know that their own dreams are more important than anyone else’s.
I may not be able to go back in time, but I can start from now and change my path.
Absolutely, been there several times. Choose your own happiness is the hardest thing to do, but once you start everything else lines up.

I do this a lot. I would say I do it too much. I’m learning to make peace with some of the decisions I make, and chalk it up to learning.

Hi AEWalson,
I met you at Danny’s Meet and Greet. I came to meet you. I blog over at MostlyBlogging.com
In regards to your post: 1. I love that song by Cher. Do you know it?
2. There are definite moments I wouldn’t choose to do again. Even though they were awful choices, good things came out of them, so I really can’t complain.
Maybe you can check out my blog if you need any blogging tips. That’s what I write about. I also hold Meet and Greets like Danny.
Janice
