I think it's something to keep in mind when you are having a bad day at work. Sometimes (a lot of times), I feel overwhelmed about the responsibilities I have. I get anxious. Then I reconsider my feelings and I know that I'm being foolish. It's not worth it.
When I'm on my deathbed, or when I'm older and retired, I'm going to think about how I wish I had taken more chances, had more fun, laughed more, loved more, told people why they are so awesome to me- so WHY WAIT?
According to this article, I'm not alone. Most people, studies show, regret the below:
- wish they'd had the courage to live a life true to themselves, not the life others expected of them
- wish they hadn't worked so hard
- wish they'd had the courage to express their feelings
- wish they had stayed in touch with friends
- wish that they had let themselves be happier
