Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride.

So today's blog topic is hard for me because technically I'm supposed to write about "6 things I wish I'd never done or could change". The reason why this is difficult for me is because I strongly believe in the whole adage that everything happens for a reason...even more so in the idea that our path is steered by something greater than ourselves, and we are brought to the joys in our lives for the same reasons that we are brought to our sadness.It's all part of the plan. You have to experience the bitter so the you can relish the sweet.

With that said, I honestly can't pinpoint anything in my life that I'd change or regret doing. The people I've loved cross my mind, the career paths I've chosen and how I'm changing direction crosses my mind as well, the things I've said or didn't say when I should have...yes, things may have been easier had I known better, and hindsight is always a perfect 20/20, but how would I know what I truly want and need had I not experienced what I now know to be what I DON'T want? Does that make sense?

So, I'm boycotting this blog topic. I could be wrong, and many of you out there may have things in your life you wish you could change...do you? If you were given the chance would you go back and make a different decision? I'd like to know what the consensus is on this subject matter...

For many people, the need to be perfect or live that dream life is an overwhelming feeling, but just keep remembering that "Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride."
