Sometimes the thoughts come: “I wish I could go back a few years and do it differently then. Do it differently.” And then I wonder: was it possible to do it differently? - different with the baggage of experience that I had several years ago? Or was it the optimal decision at that particular moment in time, in those circumstances? I'm leaning towards the second option. I probably wouldn't want to go back. Even if such a chance arose, and a man with a time machine offered to take such a trip. Of course it's interesting. Who would refuse such a trip? But I definitely wouldn’t do anything new there. You know, sometimes they say: “If only there was a chance to go back to the past, I would fix everything, I wouldn’t do this.” And it seems to me that they would have acted the same way as they did. Now you know what could have been done differently. Because they have matured, mastered new information, acquired new skills. You have changed. And if you returned to the past, you would return to your old self. And they would have made exactly the same decision, acted in the same way, did not say something, or, on the contrary, said too much, offended someone, or someone offended you, and you did not answer anything. At every moment in time, we make a choice between different options and do what seems optimal for us right now. The past is experience. Something that stays with us for life. What determines our present and future. It seems to me important to be able to accept your past, your experience, your actions, your choices. No regrets. Without obsessive thoughts “I wish I could go back and do it differently.” This has already happened. All. There is no turning back. It helped me understand something important, discover something new, showed me a weak or, conversely, a strong side. Yes, you may have been hurt or hurt in the past. And I would like to somehow fix this. Rewrite the script. But the past cannot be changed. You can only accept it. And live in the present. So I wouldn’t like to go back to the past. I accepted it with all the good and bad that was there. Now I live in the present, planning for the future. Would you like to go back to the past?
