Would you relive your life?

WOULD YOU RELIVE YOUR LIFE?

I recently ran across a Facebook post that asked the question- if you could, would you relive your life? The question literally threw me as I had never quite looked at life before in this way. I mean would I live my life again? If I had the choice.... Often, we think about regrets or how we would do things over---things of our past...but to think about living your life over without being able to change the past is interesting. Most people would take the question at face-value, without looking deeper to see the implication beyond the words.... “If you could relive your life, would you?” 

Knowing full well that you are still in the flesh, and praying that you will wake up tomorrow, what would you do in between that time to make your wiser/ older-self say, “Let's go for another ride!” In layman's terms- are you living a life that would make you want to do it again? And if not, why not start now? 

Some of us get caught up in the money, heartbreaks, and disappointments, but I am not so sure that is what life and reliving is all about. EVERYONE has their own money issues, heartbreaks, and disappointments....I think the question is asking more about your integrity, how many times you smile in a day, and whether your spirit is settled. Those things don't waver because they are internal achievements that come from the spiritual connection between you and God and having FULL awareness of who He wants you to be. 

So would I relive my life? I think I'd sidestep some moments and stay sleep on some days, but overall I think I am on the right track to being happy to press that rewind button should I ever get the chance....
