Top Five Regrets That Dying People Do Have

This article originated from Bronnie Ware, an Australian palliative care nurse who provides specialised medical care for people who are in the last 12 weeks of their lives. She recorded the dying thoughts of her patient on her blog Inspiration and Chai, which became so popular and she wrote a book about the same  “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying”. The regrets of people were:
  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.
You should not have to have the same regrets by doing the following as suggested by George Ambler:
  1. Decide to live your dreams whilst you still have your health.
  2. Don’t work too much. Get off the treadmill of endless work.
  3. Take time to express your feelings to those you love and to those who care about you.
  4. Cultivate friendships. Don’t let your friendships slip.
  5. Happiness is a choice. Make the decision to be happy every day
