Change Your Life: Avoid These 5 Regrets...

regrets What is life truly all about?

See, lately, I’ve been thinking about that and what it means to really ‘be in the moment.’

I mean, when you strip away all of the material things and everything else we mark as “important” in our everyday lives… it all becomes trivial compared to what really matters in our lives.

Right?

Trevor Mauch, and I’ve been thinking about how everything I do today… no matter if I feel like it’s “productive” or not toward reaching my business goals… is a day I can’t relive twice. And, every day behind us is one day less that we have in front of us to truly live the lives that we want to live.

That’s a powerful thing when you really think about it.

When you really think about our mortality… that no matter how hard we try to stop it… or how hard we try to forget it… we’re not going to be forever and there will be a time in our lives where we’ll be faced with the moment when we have to look back at our lives and really ask “Did I live? Did I love? Did I matter?” (as a mentor of mine always says).

Now, I’m not bringing up any of this to make you feel bad about what you’ve done (or not done) with your life up to this point. In fact, just the opposite… I hope that what you’re about to read will actually help you live a much fuller, fulfilling, rewarding, loving, fun, successful and prosperous life from here on out.

The Top 5 Regrets of The Dying

So, I read an article written by a gal in the healthcare industry who cared for people through the last 3-12 weeks of their lives. And, through those conversations, she noticed some amazing insights that I’m passing on to you.

As you’re reading through these, visualize for yourself:

What do you want to see when you look back at your life when you’re in your final days?
What feeling do you want to feel?
What stories do you want to tell?
What legacy do you want to live? (That’s when it gets really powerful.)

Alrighty… check these out and really digest each one:

“I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expect of me.”
“I wish I didn’t work 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.”

I strongly encourage you to give these 5 regrets some serious thought… and do what you can so you’re not saying these in your final days.

It’ll certainly give you new perspective on life.

The author summed up her article like this:

“When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying. Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.”
