As humans, our lives are full of uncertainty and mistakes, some which turn out for our advantage and some the reason for our pains to date.
It's funny how all those things are captured in time and if only we could travel back, we would be able to meet those moments and correct the mistake by preventing them from happening.
Beautiful right? Personally, I wouldn't think twice before embracing such a golden opportunity but don't you think doing something like that would actually tamper with the law of nature?
And what if certain mistakes were destined to happen in our lives to shape the future?
It hurts to fail, it hurts to make wrong decisions. Most times when I reminisce about my life and I recall certain terrible things I have done, I wish I could be given an opportunity to go back in time and fix them but I do not have such power.
If we would check our lives carefully we would realize that we are whatever we have become today as a result of some of the mistakes that we have made in the past.
The pains, the shame, and so on, pushed us into transformation, birthing this very version we have today. I know the scars might still be there, people might still remind us about them but what doesn't it change?
Going back in time to undo our mistakes is a beautiful thing but it's not worth it for me. Life is not all about perfection, I see it as a school, you fail, you learn, and you grow.
Deleting your mistakes doesn't guarantee that you won't make one again. Instead of traveling back in time to correct mistakes it's best we learn from those mistakes and be cautious.
Those mistakes might look like thorns in our flesh but they will become our teachers. Each time you see the scars, they remind you to tread carefully and apply wisdom and I think that's beautiful.
What has happened has happened. I believe in forward ever, backwards never, the one who created us knows that we have no need to go back to the past that is why he didn't give us that ability.
Instead of going to the past, I think it will be best to travel into the future. This will be of more advantage to me because I will know what lies ahead, I will know how my life will look in the coming days and begin to position myself for it.
But this too has its disadvantages, for instance, I saw that my future is great and all my dreams were acquired, I can be tempted to relax and feel things will work out well and that is a terrible idea.
You see, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is yet to come, what we have is now, and that is all that matters. What we have at hand is what belongs to us.
It's best we forget about the mistake and failure of yesterday, and keep building ourselves for a better tomorrow.
Imagine you go to the past and fix all your messes only to return to the present and realize that all what you have learned and acquired as a result of that mistake or failure is gone.
Let's reason this together, if you remove the cause of something, that thing won't be there anymore. There is a story behind every achievement in life, take the foundation away and the building collapses.
You see more reasons why certain things ought to be left the way they are right? Traveling back in time is going to be wonderful and it will bring amazing changes in the lives of people but be rest assured that it will come with a price.
