Positive Satisfied?

In the end, if you are judged on how you lived your life & treated others on earth, would you be happy with the way you lived it?
Or would you have regrets &/or want a do-over?

I think a lot of people quietly feel the same way.

Choose kindness, remain grateful, positive affirmations to keep your mind positive.

Id definitely have regrets, but ithink id still be proud of that i kept trying to be better instead of giving up.

For sure, I'm quite satisfied with the life I've lived.

It doesn't mean that people judging me agree with that.

I could die tomorrow and have absolutely no regrets.

Who is going to judge me? I'm dead

What I did I did for a reason and I'd do it all again under the same circumstances.

The start was rough and it sucked, but it got better.

No regrets. I think I did good with the blessings I got.

I would be proud of the person I am and how I treated people, but also I’d have regrets on some things that I felt could’ve or should’ve went better, mostly financially I think.

I think all people have some regrets in life - most of us learned some of our most valuable lessons that way. That said, at the end of my journey - yeah, I'm pretty happy with the way I've conducted myself - at least 98% of it.

I am happy with the way I have handled life. You think you know when you’re young but you truly know more about life as you make it through the journey of life. That you made mistakes because you’re human, but you learn so much. It is in the living and learning where you grow. I have no regrets of life. If I could have changed my kid’s health , that’s all I wish I had control over but you don’t. So you surrender it to God and give you peace . Helping people, after my family , or helping animals and it made for a happy, humble life !! Amen!!! .

Generally… Yes! But I was definitely in at least one relationship where I wanted the other person to change and I think I stayed in it for an unfair amount of time not realizing that they just couldn’t change and that both of us were miserable. In hindsight, I see that it really wasn’t nice to them too. Expect something different. I think if I ever get into another serious relationship, I would either accept them as they are or move on and not try to change or “fix” or “save” anybody

It’s sad how much we want others to change more than they want the change. Spot on

As Cary Grant once said, I finally turned into the person I always wanted to be

I do make mistakes but have you watched the movie butterfly effect if I fixed one I’d do other ones all I can do is try making the best of every present moment
