If I Could Live My Life Over Again

I would laugh more by looking for the humorous side to everything.

I would have worked harder earlier on my number one asset - my health. I would have consumed a better diet with much more fresh vegetables, fruits and grains. I would of exercised more.

I would take more risks, as I've realised I regret far more of what I haven't done in my life than what I have.

If I had to live my life over again I would cry more, both in happiness and in sadness. It takes great strength to reveal your vulnerabilities and I used to think that tears were a sign of weakness.

If I could live my life over again I would of read more books and attended more seminars by the masters of their subjects.

I would of given up anger and grudges sooner against those who have hurt me.

I would of been conscious sooner that I alone am totally responsible for creating my emotional state - and that every feeling arises from the meaning I give things. And with this secret I have the capacity to be happy living in a small room just as well as in a mansion. Mt life could be filled with meaning even if I were confined in a concentration camp or prison.

I would have learned the greatest secret of being alive is not found in regrets of the past, nor worries about the future, which 95% of the time never happen. Or even living in today. The only way I can fully live is to live solely in this moment. This moment is all I, you, anyone ever really is.

If I could live my life over again I would be more giving without expectations. Life has taught me there is no wasted energy in the universe. He who gives most and who serves his fellow human best always prospers.

If I could live my life over again I would never say if I could live my life over again. As long as I'm alive, I've realised it's a mistake to live in the "might have beens." It's never too late to really start living. Even if I were 87, I plan to take each and every action I've so longed to take.

The time is now, this instant.

Won't you join me on this marvelous and exciting journey? There is plenty of room!
