If Wishing Made It So

In Blogroll, information, writing on June 21, 2008 at 7:09 pm

How many times have you wished you could go back and change something if you could? Some moment out of time. This got me wondering maybe instead of wishing I could change the past, I paid a little more attention to the future.

As I think about it, changeable behaviors start to come to mind rather easily. Like think be opening my big mouth, don’t be so self centered, count to ten before blowing up at some one. All theses things could make my future a little better. Use fewer modifiers when I write. That would at least make the reading easier. Although there are moments in time I truly wish I could change, but can’t and I am left with the remorse of failing to act or acting too late. Some once said, “The world wouldn’t be a bad place if it weren’t for the people.” I don’t know about that, but the future and time are not completely out of our hands, we can control our selves to a point. We can step out of time and right a wrong, fix a broken heart or even mend a few fences. It all comes down to one thing, if we have the desire. Just don’t spend too much time in the past and forget to live the future. One simple lesson about the future I have learned is , in the passion and hast of the moment I choose not to act on impulse and leave the door open to use in the future, to put it another way it’s hard to put the bullets back in the gun once fired. However, if I choose not to fire, I can always fire it tomorrow.
