If you could go back in time, how many times would you and where and why? Would I go back and try to meet some of my heroes like Leonardo da Vinci, King David or Dr. Martin Luther King or would I go back and change some of the decisions I've made over the years? I have to admit that this is a difficult question. Who wouldn't want to meet their historical heroes? But at the same time, who wouldn't want to undo some disastrous decisions? And let's say I could only go back once. Then I could only attempt to meet one figure or change one decision.
What's the worst decision I've ever made? Honestly, I don't even like to think about it. But, I fully realize that I don't know how much happiness in my life today is a result of a seemingly poor decision that I may have made thirty years ago or even one year ago. Regardless of the department of life where the poor decision was made: work; education; romance; family; etc. I can't even begin to guess how many positive results were ultimately created in the ripples of said terrible choice.
I think it's easier to simply accept the reality of the past, as difficult as that can be sometimes. It's the only honest possibility.
