Do you have any regrets in life? The truth is, I’m only 53 and perfectly healthy (nowhere near dying) and I already have regrets. I regret working so much and not spending more time with my children. I regret not holding my children for just a little bit longer when they were little instead of making them be independent early on.
I also regret not spending more time with my grandmother before she died. I wish I had done more physically demanding things when I was younger and stronger. Think skydiving. I know I could still do it, but dang, wouldn’t it have been GREAT to do this when I was 20 instead of 50? Below, you’ll read an essay by a former hospice nurse who interviewed people who were dying and asked them their biggest regrets. Hopefully, we’ll take care of these things before it’s too late.
Be true to yourself.
Work less if you can.
Let people know how you feel.
Keep in touch with the people you care about.
Live. Truly live. And be happy.
Today is a fresh start. What are you going to do differently?
