The Dangers of "What if..."
Windypops and I have been suffering from a major case of "What if..." syndrom since we've been house hunting. What if we would have gone out on a limb two years ago and bought a house.?... we would have been able to buy twice the house we are buying now. This has really made me think about the danger of living in the past rather than the present. Fact of the matter is, it does not matter what happened in the past, you can only control now and what happens in the future.

We are in the same boat as you guys. We are still debating if we could buy a house, and how that will happen in the next few months. It's hard to tell what you should do in the future, based on the past.
--Cliché Alert--Hindsight is 20/20--End of Alert-- All we can do is LEARN, and use our best judgement for todays choices since time decides if our choices are mistakes, or successes. It kinda puts into perspective how we should focus on LEARNING from our past choices, so we don't repeat our mistakes. It seems that is our best form of controlling our destiny. (wow, that got real heavy).
Yeah and it's better to be making choices, even if they are wrong, and learning from them, than to be sitting on the sidelines and letting your life pass you by while doing nothing cause you afraid to make the wrong choice.
