If you could turn back time, would you?

What would you pick?

That job you took that made you miserable?

That date you went on?

The burger you ate?

So many moments in time that make a life.

Were they well lived?

Do you live with a regret at a moment in time you weren’t sure what to do?

If you had altered a moment in time, where would you be today?

Would you have married the right person?

Moved to the destination of your dreams?

Chosen a different career?

Each step, each breath, each moment.

So many possibilities of a different life.

If you could change one, which one would it be?

What would have been the outcome?

Better than you have today? Or worse?

Funny thing about time.

It keeps moving forward.

But for many of us, we keep looking back in time.

A longing to change the destination we are in for some.

A longing to get back to where we were once happy for others.

It’s a cliche when you say the past is the past.

Of course it’s the past. One second ago is the past.

How do we live in the present? This moment? How do we let go of the what if?

We don’t.

We learn to embrace that the moment we are in is built from all the moments, all the choices, we made to this point.

Perhaps the dream job was really a nightmare.

That dream man or woman was impossible to live with.

Who knows?

I think the point is to live in this moment.

Embrace the now and release the past to the past.

But if you are truly feeling that you are out of alignment, then decide what you are willing to do to get realigned.

Leave the job. Leave the relationship. Move to that dream city.

Life is short.

It feels long when you are out of alignment.

But when you are living the life you were meant to live, it will never be long enough.

Stop settling. Stop wasting time.

Because there is never enough time to live the life you were meant to live.
