Some people say,
“Knowing what I know now,
I’d like to go back to…”
as if they wouldn’t make
different mistakes
the second time around.
You cannot turn back time.
You cannot undo
mistakes and missed opportunities.
Guilt,
anger,
regret,
and
what ifs
cannot change the past,
but
they can
stop you from living
in the present.
Instead:
learn from your missteps,
seek courage,
make decisions,
and
focus on the path
you are walking now.
When you do,
you begin to say,
“Knowing what I know now,
I choose to…”
and life begins anew.
