For many years Bronnie Ware, worked in palliative care. Her patients were those who had gone home to die. She was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. She recorded their dying epiphanies in a blog called Inspiration and Chai, which gathered so much attention that she put her observations into a book called The Top Five Regrets of the Dying. Here are the most common five regrets in death bed, based on her experience:
1) I wish I 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 express my feelings.
4) I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5) I wish that I had let myself be happier.
True, each one of the above 5 has profound lessons.
Life is a decision. You can either take your own decision or listen to others. You can either find your own path, or travel in others path. For every decision, you should be courageous enough to take responsibility. Another important factor is priority. All decisions should be based on priorities in life. Priorities change over period of time.You should be capable enough to find the priority in life at each stage. For a beautiful life, decisions should be based on priority and a sense of responsibility.
Something to think and implement.
