A nurse has recorded the most common regrets of the dying, and the top five are:
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’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.
Whenever I am hard on myself for taking an afternoon off or not spending my weekends in the pile of work related books, I will think about this. I never want to have regrets like these when it’s finally my time to go
Yes, yes, yes.
