You might have heard about the top 5 regrets of the dying by Bronnie Ware.
If not, find a summary below:
- I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
- I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
- I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
- I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
- I wish that I had let myself be happier.
The good news is that we can flip it. Instead of wishing, we can choose to –
- Embrace possibilities.
- Create time to recreate (or have fun or play).
- Speak our truth.
- Cultivate meaningful relationships.
- And give ourselves an “A” for continually working on being our best selves.
