Name Three Things You Would Change If You Could

Name Three Things You Would Change If You Could

Until I retired at sixty two, my life was a roller coaster. I was all over the map socially and always taking career risks in business. However, looking back, I'm not sure what I would have changed. 

I guess, I would like to take back some financial mistakes I made, but those mistakes would only have given me more money. I'm not sure having more money would have significantly change my life for the better.

I had two marriages that didn't work out, but I might not be the person I am today if I didn't go through those divorces. I am sure I wouldn't have appreciated my Ellen if I didn't go through those rough patches in my life.

I changed jobs within companies and changed companies more than most. Although each change was stressful, I loved the business I was in, I loved the learning and I loved the people I worked with. In my opinion I had a fabulous career. How many of you can truly say you've had or have a fabulous career? 

The bottom line for me is that I had a wild and crazy social life and a wild and crazy business life. Looking back and looking forward, I love my life and I'm not sure I would want to change anything.

Now, what about you? If you can name three or more things that you would have changed in your life I believe you didn't have that great of a life. If you haven't learned from those things you would like to change, then you'll keep making similar mistakes in the future.

We have all made mistakes. We have all said to ourselves: "What The Hell Was I Thinking." The key is did you recover. The key is did you create a better life even with those mistakes. The key is the past is the past and loving life must be your future.

In one of my five hundred plus blogs I stated: "try to not say: "I shoulda or coulda" for three months." If you can do that you will be a better person and a happier person. If you can look at your past and not say: "I shoulda or coulda" you have accepted the past and only focused on the good stuff. 

I hope for all of us that we can't Name Three Things You Would Change If You Could from the past and never create Three Things You Would Change If You Could in the future.

You Have That Power
