What could you do differently?

I laughed when I read this prompt. In my last blog, I talked about a long list of things in my past that I would have done differently.

Even though hardly reads my other blogs unless it’s a daily prompt, I won’t go into full details but I’m serious when I say the list is long.

There are moments where I did something so stupid that I try to forget but keep popping up every once in a while. There are moments where I caused pain emotionally that I can’t take back.

It’s hard for me to give one specific thing that I would do differently. If I did, my life wouldn’t be what it is today. From a general standpoint, I do wish there are things that I had done differently with my kids. I often self evaluate my role as a father and husband. There are a bunch of things that I would do differently.

This is really a complex question to answer. As I type this, one thought did pop in my head. If there is one thing I would do differently, I would not take life so seriously as a kid. I would enjoy life a little more, laugh at myself, and try to be a better friend. Ok so that was a few thoughts.

I try not to think about regrets too much because it does cause a lot of pain but it is how I learn and be a better person. Sometimes though, I never learn from my mistakes.
