What would you do different if you were reborn and started life over again, knowing what you know now?

Would you hit the reset button on life if you could actually do it ?
 
Yes. Knowing what I know now. I would start writing novels at the age of three. With all the intelligence that I have as an eighteen year old, I would be seen as a prodigy for having it at such a young age. I would never have to worry about anything ever. I would be on television shows and would have a ton of money.
 
I wouldn't as some of who you are is born out of the pain experienced in life. Having foreknowledge of it will likely make you turn away from it and perhaps create a person you wouldn't want to be. Some of the most painful episodes of life are born out of the deepest pain.

Also, having a lot of money really isn't a blessing as it ends up being more of a curse then anything. It may not look it from the outside but if you were to see inside the lives of those who are wealthy shows that their money isn't some fountain of joy and peace like it is made out to be. It's not to say poverty would be better but a happy medium where your needs are met but you don't have too much to distract you from what really matters in life.

Oh hell yes I would! There are tons of things I'd do differently. Way too many to post, but for sure I'd try to be a MUCH better Mom. That would be most important to me; do better by my son. The rest would just be gravy.

Takes a person of much courage, strength and even bravery, to admit to oneself .. let alone a whole group of people, that you may have been able to be a better Mom.

You've faced what short comings you perceive yourself to have had. Speaks a lot towards your character .. and your integrity.

And where you have integrity .. you also find many, many other good qualities.

No.

There are things that have happened that I would still have no control over and could not change and do not wish to go through again.

Exactly the same for me. And I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy.
