My biggest hurdle in life has been learning patience and self-control.\n\nI struggle with it, but I am doing far better than just a couple of years ago.\n\n.

Life is about learning lessons in order to be prepared for our soul's journey to the spiritual realm. Each life we live (& we all have lived many) is about learning the necessary lessons in order to spiritually evolve & be enlightened & full of love. When our spiritual development is complete on earth, we move on to the next dimension.

I live to experience life..not to have fun, or work, or love, just to experience the wonders of it...\nAre you still here? If not...sorry you misunderstood your purpose for living...it is/was just an adventure, nothing more, nothing less...

given the chance to fix one thing in my life, it would be ALL the wrongdoings i have made. but then, if i have been perfect all my life, what's the use of living this life and learning from our own mistakes? those mistakes in the past contributed to the person that we are now. things happen for a reason regardless if it is intentional or not. the best thing to do is to learn from one's mistake and continue living for the better, not for the worst.

Life is a journey.  If you aren't learning something new everyday, you aren't doing it (life) correctly.

I believe that our earthly lives are likened to school for the soul. We are here to learn and elevate the growth of our spirit. Depending on the lesson/s needing to be learned, we experience various trials and tribulations. When things seem to be going wrong or unfairly ask yourself, what can I learn from this? or what I can I teach someone from this? It is when your spirit has learned, that the negative will fall away, of course being replaced by something else. In a woven web we are are here to both teach and learn. Some souls have more difficult lessons to learn than others, but if you look around, nearly everyone has an adversity in their lives. It could be financial, health related, or deal with the emotional or mental aspects, or even physical disability, etc. The first 25 years of my life were hellish, it was when I began to see the lessons and stop feeling sorry for myself that things began to change. I took an inward journey and discovered spirituality can lead me to a better place, where I once viewed things with a negative mind I now see with positive energy. It makes all the difference. Look at your life, go over every aspect of it, and seriously think about what you could or have learned from it. Allow knowledge to enter in, consider yourself a student and a teacher at the same time. I can not say to you that things will improve because I do not know what path your soul treads in order to learn but I can say to you if you manifest your thoughts esoterically (inner, spiritually), instead of mundane (outward, worldly things), you will percieve the same conflicts in a different way. There is a purpose for your being here, discover it, once you do you should feel better even while you may struggle. Good luck, life was not intended to be easy, but you can avoid the pitfalls if you strengthen your spirit. Sending you bright blessings!

Ahhh, the "rewind/erase" button of life that we sometimes long for.... what if?\n\nI determined for myself long ago, that I didn't want to look back on my life and have regrets.. That if something of an unfortunate nature happened, I would simply regard it as a learning experience, and take what was good from the occurance and leave the rest behind.\nA question like this - the mind can't help but look back and do a self-examination. Would I continue to live as I have lived and leave well enough alone, because who knows what changes to my life would result because of this one change.   Still the possibilities boggle the mind...\n\nOf the terribly tragic events of my life that I won't, really CAN'T reveal ( I admire others' bravery to bare their souls unflinchingly - the unintended but evitable judgement is more than my tender heart can take, I've made my peace of sorts with it and I'll bear them alone, thanks.)  The one thing I can almost laugh about and cry about at the same time, is the wrecking of my life dream to travel the world as a working global citizen. My plan was to start in England, because the languages are similiar enough (really we don't speak the SAME English folks) and from there I would make connections that took me on a global explore of sorts, there would be adventure good and bad, and times would I'd miss the good old USA like a spike through the heart, but it was going to be a rich life - a life of my own intention... ah it's still painful to look upon 8 yrs later.\nWhat happened? Got deported. Was honest and said I would be working while in country, COULD have said I was just there on "holiday" (they don't say vacation as much as we do) and I would very likely not be on Answers tonight. \nSo for me it boils down to one short phrase, "Just here on holiday." \nWas in merry old England for all of 13 hours. \n\nOne thing that has eased the pain, is hearing from my nephew's lips (not the one I'm pictured with at 360, but the older one) " I know why you came back Aunt Jenny." You do? " I needed you, that's why God brought you back." \nThis of course made me cry on the spot, but they were tears of joy. That kid, those boys, would give my life twice for them and die both times smiling.

My life has never been perfect (even till now). Ups and downs and sideways, too. But the essence of life is how you live it during the good times and , unfortunately, during the bad times, too. So all of those bad things I charge to experience and hope that I don't trip over the same rock twice. And for the good things, keep on coming.\n\nMost of those who reply to this question so far say that they should have done better in elementary or high school or college. Right answers. There are no wrong answers. But come to think of it, don't you guys feel that your misses and "mistakes" have helped you to grow stronger and better equipped to face more challenges? What do you think?

You do have a good point, and it is something to take notice of. I haven't thought about it that way, but as a Christian, I will take this constructively and maybe there can be things that I can change that I wasn't doing before in treating people. As for my shortcomings in life, I blame that all on myself.

Today is all you have (the short answer). I am still embroiled in the quotidian struggles of worrying over finance etc. But keep in mind that most of us are, and that you may take at least some small comfort in the knowledge that others are commiserating with you (the stoic option). Instead of focusing on what you do not have, place priority on what you do have (youth, a husband, job, etc). Small pleasures are to be seized when they emerge, so do not sully your enjoyment of them by focusing on a future that is still somewhat uncertain.

Forgive me for overanalyzing but it's what i do best...\n\nAt the present time, my eyes have the following:\n\nSadness for a friendship that's been lost. I actually let go. And while it makes me sad, i've realized that i'm a better person without it. I wish it was easier to let go.\n\nHapiness for my sister. I love her so much and we had such a good time tonight. I haven't laughed that hard in YEARS!\n\nExcitement for the trip that may happen next summer. I could end up volunteering in Ecuador for two weeks and then just chilling out in the country for another two weeks.\n\nWorry for the group project i haven't even started on and it's due this week.\n\nTired because i'm exhausted.
