WHAT WOULD HE CHANGE IF HE COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN ?
While his answer is unpopular , he says he wouldn ’ t change a thing . “ We don ’ t get that opportunity in life to go back and do it all over again ,” Armstrong said . “ If I had this magic wand that the interviewer seemingly has , I ’ d wave it , and I ’ d go back , and I ’ d race all these people from all over the world on bread and water , and I would kick their *** the same way I did , the way we did it . That ’ s if we ’ re waving the magic wand . But that wasn ’ t the case . We all live these interesting lives , and it ’ s just a big canvas , and at the end of the day , we get to look at the painting and say , ‘ What do you think ? How are you , Lance , as a friend , father , and husband ? How are you right now ?’ I ’ m liking it right now . I love my relationship with my family , friends , and partners . So why would I go back and change all this bad stuff that happened ? It made the person who ’ s sitting here today . I ’ m not perfect . I ’ m one of the most polarizing , complicated people , but I went to bed last night as Lance Armstrong , and I woke up today as Lance Armstrong , and I ’ m really glad I did . I ’ m glad that I ’ ve lived this complicated life and managed to , in my own sort of way , come out the other end .”
Armstrong ’ s life , painted in strokes of glory and dishonor , teaches us that success is not a static achievement but an ongoing process of learning , adapting , and persisting . His journey underscores a fundamental truth in life and business : Our choices and actions , even the most controversial or regrettable ones , shape who we become . His refusal to be defined by his past mistakes and his commitment to moving forward with authenticity and accountability is a powerful example of the enduring strength of the human spirit .
His story is a compelling reminder of the importance of facing challenges head-on , embracing the full spectrum of our experiences , and continually striving for personal and professional growth .
