Anyone watching LOKI on Disney?
The idea of time travel, different dimensions and multiverses is so utterly fascinating and compelling to me and I’m totally hooked on this series.
I play the “What If” game a lot.
What If I
– paid more attention in school
– married the first boy who kissed me
– stayed with the one who abused me
– was too afraid to be vulnerable again
Playing this game looking backwards in time can do two things:
(1) make me feel regretful and bitter, or
(2) make me feel grateful for the lessons I’ve learned.
I do not have a time machine to change my past, and I can only look forward but I know that the lessons I’ve learned has made me the person I am today.
If I had the Time Stone, or a TemPad to change the past or timeline, I would be sooo tempted as there has been periods of darkness and pain.
(Fortunately) I am exactly where I need to be, precisely because I do not have a time machine.
I can choose option (1) or (2).
And so, I choose gratitude.
However.
The one thing would have changed – I wish I was kinder.
Especially to my grandmother who was dying of Alzheimer’s.
Regardless, I know I made her laugh a lot, which makes me feel grateful.
Gratitude makes such a big difference to the quality of my life.
What’s your nexus decision point that you would have made a different choice?
