Would you be willing to give up everything you have if you could go back and start your life all over again? Why or why not?
Wow, this is a hard one but I have to say yes. I would wish I could keep a few things. I would wish I could keep my children. I wish I could keep my positivity.
Why would I be okay starting life all over again? I could use what I know now to do all the things I have learned are right and would attempt all of the things I was too scared to try. I would do some of the things I did in my life differently. I would go to college and major in something else. I would try to get my dream job even if I didn’t have the confidence to try.
Why wouldn’t I? I would be afraid that I wouldn’t be me in my new life. There are things I don’t regret. I would be scared that I made the wrong decision.
I think the biggest question is: when do we start again? At birth? At a certain age?

I intentionally didn’t say when when I posed the question. Interestingly, most answered no.

What do you think? I don’t have that many regrets but there are so many things I would do differently now that I know!

I think if I could start again knowing what I know now, that would be one thing. But starting over as a clean slate? I’d probably end up making the same decisions (and the same mistakes) and end up where I am right now anyway — which, by the way, ain’t such a bad place to be.

This answer of yours is thought-provoking. Helped me to think about the provocation a bit more. When, exactly, indeed. And do we only give up every thing?

People are quick to answer yes but aren’t there things you want to keep. Or if you answer no, aren’t there things you would do differently?
