Great little article from someone who worked with elderly patients. Here is the list of five things people regret at the end of life.
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
I can see a few of these in me as well. Even today I was pondering and thinking about how much I work and for what… more money… more security. Sometimes it seems that I should just simplify and enjoy life more.
What will you regret? What are you going to do to not get there?
