Hive Reachout Weekly Prompt 52//Restart my Life at Six or Take Twenty Million Dollars in Cash?

This is one of those interesting topics that make me smile when ever I come across it. If someone came to me and said, I will give you two choices, go back to when you were six years old and start life all over again, or take twenty million dollars in cash right now and continue from where you are, what would I choose?

Actually, to most people it may sound like the perfect opportunity to go back and rewrite history, probably to do things better and avoid some mistakes. But for me, I don’t think I want that. Going back to six years old is not something I’m excited about. Why? Because I don’t want to touch that part of my life again. It’s like trying to open a wound that has already healed. There are things I faced back then that I don’t even want to think about, not to talk of living through them again. That age is far behind me now. I have healed from things I went through back then, and I don’t want to live those moments again.

I had one experience at age six to seven that still stays in my heart. I've talk about it in one of my post so It is not something to repeat again.

It was painful and hard. So if I go back to six, I will have to face that pain again. I have moved on from that.

Also, even if I go back, how am I sure that I’ll be able to change anything? What if I try to fix one thing and it ends up making things worse? Life doesn’t always give us the chance to change the past without consequences. Maybe I might try to avoid a mistake I made before, and that small change may stop me from accomplishing some things now or meeting the good people in my life today.

Besides, going back to age six means starting everything all over again. Going back through elementary and high school with all the stress. No!!! thank you. I don’t want to do it again. I just graduated and I've passed through that phase already.

Now to the better option, twenty million dollars in cash. Wow!! Twenty million dollars is not small money. It’s enough to change your life completely. If given that money now, it will help me build the future I want without going back to the past.

I will start businesses. Not just one, but many businesses that can grow and bring in steady income. I will invest in things I understand. I’ll learn more about real estate, agriculture, the crypto world and tech. I will make that money work for me and build things that can bring in money every day.

The good thing about having money now is that I can use it to support not just myself, but also my family and others around me. I know how it feels to struggle. I know how it feels when you have dreams but no money to make them come true. So, if I have twenty million dollars, I will help myself and others grow too. I will be a source of blessing to others.

Now some people might say, going back to age six can make thing better, make better decisions and choices. Well that may sound true, but how do I know for sure that it will happen? Life is not always a straight line. Even if I go back, I may still face new challenges. Things may not go the way I plan. And what if I make different mistakes that are worse than the first ones? What if I miss a chance I had before? What if I lose what I have now? There’s no promise that the second chance will be better.

But with twenty million dollars now, I can take control of my life, build myself, grow, and plan for my life. I can make changes that matter now. I can build my future that is better than starting all over again with nothing.

So, to my able admin, initiator(s) or whoever is offering these two options to me, thank you very much, but I’m not going back to age six.🤣 That time of my life is done. I don’t want to press rewind. Just give me the money and watch me grow. Watch me start from where I am and build something great. Watch me change my life.

One thing is for sure though, the money may not remove all problems, but it will surely help reduce them.
