If you were given an opportunity to change three things from your past now or only have one chance to change the past later, which would you pick? I was asked this question by a friend of mine. It didn't take me very long to answer this question. I knew right away what I wanted to do. I wanted to change my past now.

I only wanted one thing changed, I only needed one thing changed in my life. About this time two years ago I made a decision that changed my life forever. And if I could take that back I would. I realized what that change would do to my life. Who and where I am today would be different. And I am convinced that it's all for the better.

I understand that this change will not only affect my life but many others. I could name half a dozen people that would also be affected by this. There would be a few people in this world that I would never meet. And possibility a few that I will meet. I am very aware of all this and still I would change it all in a second.

Why exactly am I so sure about this change in my life. I was always one to analyze my life with a bunch of "what if" questions. So for me to answer so quickly isn't that quick after all. I've thought of it thoroughly. But this would be the only change I would make in my life. Any other would change my life so drastically that it's not even possible to fathom. But every being in my body tells me that this one change would present a positive outcome.

You might be wondering what my friend has answered herself. She choose the latter. She would like to have one change for future consideration. A very intelligent choice actually. She wanted the option of knowing that she could always change something in her life whenever she wanted. Thus giving her the idea that she will always have a second chance in life whenever she needed it.

The idea of a second chance as you live your life. Not a bad idea. One that I would highly consider if I didn't believe that this one change in my life would make my life a whole lot better and happier. Now if only I knew what to do with the last two changes. What would you do? Change something in your past now or keep it for later?
