Ask me a question

 Ask me a question 

Someone asked me a question yesterday, if I were to live one day from my past exactly as it happened, what day would I choose. My answer was another question. Why would I choose a day from my past exactly as it happened? First of all,why  go to past? We are here, living now. And my past has shaped, to a large extent my present because of the choices I made. So if at all,  I would like to change my past and omit the mistakes I made or the decisions I took which took me on a different tangent than I wanted. 

Upon some reflection however, I thought why would I do even that? My mistakes have taught me invaluable lessons, have given me a new perspective and have contributed in my growth. 

Imagine if we made no mistakes would we learn wisdom ? Would we ever know what is failure and how to deal with it? Would we ever know how to face the ridicule of your friends, family and still go on, rebuild your life? Would we ever feel compassion for someone else’s failure? You could say we could gloat over someone’s failures. Yes one could but still at the bottom of our heart we would feel sympathy for them. Our failures teach us much more than our successes. In fact I think success should not come without failure. It is then that we cherish it and enjoy it. It is then that we embrace humility. 

So I would not like change my past. I would rather change my future. How about you? Do write what you feel. Meanwhile let’s celebrate our failures. They shape us. 

So be it !!!
