➡️ Reason #5: You want to minimize regrets

• Some of the regrets that you’ll experience will not be from what you tried and failed at; it’s the things you didn’t try because of fear and the other rationales we use.
• Bronnie Ware – a Palliative nurse wrote a book about the top “5 regrets of the dying”
  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.
