“Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.”
Before we get to the list. It’s important to remember that staying stuck in regret offers you nothing but suffering . By ruminating over regret, we are allowing the past to dictate our present. The good new is, is that we we can use the past as a reference point to understand and make adjustments as we move forward. We are learning all the time, and it is very easy to get yourself stuck in the swampy bog of regret. When it comes to making changes, you are always one decision away from a totally different life. Allow yourself to be at peace with the past and remember that each moment can be a new beginning.
Below is a list of the 5 Greatest Regrets of the Dying created by Austrailian palliative nurse Bronnie Ware.
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 hadn't worked so hard.
3. I wish I had the courage to truly express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
LIfe is a choice. It is your life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, and choose honestly. Choose happiness.
