I would want to know if I could have accomplished anything different that I did. Could I have been a super successful NFL quarterback? Could I have been a lawyer? Could I have been president of the United States? Could I have been a rockstar or a movie star? Could I have been a bodybuilder? Could I have been a New York times best-selling novelist? I would like to know all the possibilities of what I might have been. I would like to see them lived out, what it looked like, what steps were taken, what decisions were made. Given the limited raw intelligence I had, the genetic potential of my physical body, what was the most I could have done with it?
Wouldn't that be awful? Just sitting back and watching all your wasted potential when you're in a position to do nothing about it?
I don't feel that, I lived the life I had, it would be like a very long movie starring me doing cool stuff.
yeah, I think I would ask what I need to do to be the happiest possible instead.
