If I knew then what I know now, I would have joined the military when I graduated high school

If I knew then what I know now, I would have become a Chef then instead of waiting till I was 50yrso. I know now that things would have been just fine and retirement would have been much better.

If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have wasted so much time with things that didn't end up mattering, in the long run.

Amen. This exactly, for me, too.

If I knew then what I know now, I would have used my brain to make a living instead of working like a man to prove myself. All I have proven is that working like a man has broken my body down terribly and it didn't have to be that way had I used my brain

I posted this last year when I had been out of work waiting on surgery and still waited 4 more weeks for the surgery. That said..had I known years ago that I had an actual injury in my knee I'd had said surgery years earlier and saved myself a lot of physical and emotional pain and suffering.

If I knew then what I know now, I would not have waited this long to lose weight. Every pound lost is a wrinkle waiting to break free.

If I knew then what I know now I would have had quite a different life after a time. I had a great early life and being a wild teen LOL but as an adult I would have changed a few things that I now regret doing but it is what it is.

If I knew then what I know now I'd have quit blaming others much sooner. It was a waste of breath, waste of time, waste of energy and it didn't change much of anything. Better to have just let it go and gotten on with it. Life is too short.

I would have...
stood my ground more when challenged...
had more confidence in my decisions...
realized what was in front of me in the moment instead of worrying about the past or stressing over where I thought I wanted to be...
been more understanding and empathetic towards others...
stuck it out in college and not been so naive about opportunity...or love.

I most likely would make decisions differently: But past experiences have taught me what I know now. I feel humility for myself and others who have suffered through life and I feel gratitude for all the good memories of treasured moments with people I deeply care about. I’m glad I can feel content with where I’m at in life. I’m wishing the same for others.
