If You Could Start Again

If you had a chance to do things over again, would you? Are you living in the past, trying to relive what could have been? No matter how much you try, it's frustrating knowing that what ever you said or did can't be redone. You live every day with the consequences of your action. Although you know better now and won't make the same mistakes, it's difficult to erase the memories of things that didn't go exactly as you had planned. All the tears you've shed won't fix the past. But know that you can do better now. You can be the person who is aware of how past mistakes can impact your life. You are who you are because of all the experiences you've gone through, so move on without regrets. Live with compassion and respect for all others including yourself. Although you're not able to start again, you can start from where you are.

A moment to relive...

(I'm not sure if I ever wanted to start anything over again. The first time seems hard enough. Every opportunity I get I want to do things better. Starting again means making mistakes but in a different way. Instead of starting over, I'd like to experience things again and again and again.)
