Walking in the What-If Road

We were having lunch and suddenly, we started talking about relationships. One friend started talking about her hesitations with her new boyfriend, trying to decide if she made the right decision. She kept talking about other possibilities, or what may have been if -- WHAT IFs.

Funny thing is that, I went down that road a few days back and regretted it (a lot). One thing I learned when you start going back to the past is that, it will *NOT* correct anything you did back then. That's one way of saying it clearly, in black and white. Since you can't do anything about it, the only thing that you can do is to simply move on and do better.

I really believe that God, by the time we were conceived, already laid out his plan for us. I've asked once, if this is a fact, what if, we do something that's not according to his plan, how should we proceed?Of course we can't go back to change anything anymore -- you only have to forgive yourself for the wrong decision, work on what you have in the present, and keep moving on. God is good, He will surely be on your side to guide you all througout.

You see, we will never grow up if we keep making the same mistakes. If we keep making the same mistakes, experiencing the same situation, that means that you continue to keep reacting to the situation the same way. Getting out of your comfort zone will allow you more possibilities of doing something better for yourself and for the people around you.

I have promised myself now that, everytime I start thinking about the "What ifs", I'll stop myself, pray and move on forward, fast!
