Whether we make the "right" choice or not, every experience plays a part in our journey and can be learned from. I will sporadically think about what my life would be like if I had done things a little different. As Jams would say to me, "Would of, should of and could of are the three worst things you can think about. It doesn't matter what you could, should or would have done, it's what you did. Keep looking forwards, not backwards." Geez, so true!
Well, I think that sometimes we don't realize the importance of experience until afterwards. It's kind of like when you were growing up and your parents would tell you, "Someday, you'll thank me for this. I'm teaching you a lesson!" Ugh, really. Sad but true, they were right... (did you hear that Mom!)
People are awesome too. We meet people all the time. Interacting, chatting, doing business - we are constantly communicating. Many people we encounter throughout our lives come and go. But there are certain people who inspire us to be better and push ourselves. People who believe in us in that moment that we don't believe in ourselves. It's because of those feel-good people and feel-good experiences that we look back. Memories are made and sometimes never forgotten. This is why we take lots of pictures and meet up with old friends to reminisce about the good old times. And I know it's not just me; we all have those moments where we wish we could go back and relive something again.
We can't though. Each memory and experience builds on itself and if you think about it, without all of those things, we would not be the strong and amazing creatures we are today. Each memory does serve a purpose. That purpose is so we can reflect back and remember why we choose the path we are on :)
