Would You Choose To Change Your Past?

THE MESSAGE
Transcribed on 10th March 2025 @ 4:15pm
Thank you. Please write the opening question I planted in your mind, then wait for me to answer it.
“If you could have your life again, what would you do differently the second time?”
Most people would be able to list a few big things they’d like to do differently, given half the chance. Some things would be major, while others would be more subtle.
Isn’t it a good thing we don’t get that opportunity? Those things that most people would change were important stepping stones, or markers in their life path. They were there for a reason. Lessons in life that have been learned from, and have shaped how and who they become. Some good, some not so good. But all were important in shaping who they are now and who they become because of it.
I know you’ve been told before that looking back only serves to show you how far you have come in your life. There will be decisions you make tomorrow and onwards, that will adjust your life path, and change who you become after.
Life is progressive, not regressive. It’s okay to reflect, but to allow those past mistakes, whether good or bad, to fester in your mind now and onwards is life limiting.
Most decisions people make, whether good or bad, are based on an emotional state of being at that time. As people age and gain wisdom and knowledge, the emotional outbursts, as you might refer to them, are more controlled, tempered as I call it.
Your life, and all people’s lives, can be viewed as learning steps, and most of those occur in the growing years. Your body grows biologically with time. Your wisdom grows with knowledge and experience and are not related to your biological state.
No-one has ever lived a trouble-free life. No-one has lived and failed to make mistakes or decisions they later regretted. People are susceptible, gullible, easily influenced, coerced and guided by others. That is part of being a human. Who you are and what you have become is because of those early choices. It doesn’t make you good or bad now. It makes you who you are, and that is a unique individual like no other.
With all the wisdom you have acquired, you’re now living in a life where your choices are more select. The emotional states are more contained. The decisions you make today and tomorrow are far more likely to be better than if you had acquired no wisdom in your life.
Isn’t that exciting? Knowing now that tomorrow’s choices are based on the decisions you make now and in the past. I have only met a few people here in my world that truly regret some of their major decisions they made when on earth. The majority of us don’t live on with such regrets. Every day is a new and fresh start to the future. Every day is another opportunity to adjust the journey through life, for the greater good. Every day is a blessing and an opportunity. For us here, and for you there.
Living with regrets is baggage you need not carry. Living with hope is exciting, revealing and fresh.
No humans on earth know what tomorrow might bring and if they did, they’d probably want to change that too!
Have you enjoyed my words? It’s a pleasure sharing a few of my philosophical thoughts with you. Enjoy today to the fullest. Tomorrow will be better still.
Goodbye
