2. I wish I didn’t work 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.
Don't let this happen to you.
What can you do to avoid this? Well, maybe...
- Live a life that's not solely dependent on how others view and expect things out of you.
- Live a life where you can have time to relax with your family, spend time with your kids and spouse.
- Live a life not out of fear about how one would respond to your feelings-- we're given feelings for a reason; don't hide it (be discerning, of course haha)
- Live a life based on community and others; the 'lone ranger' technique seems to have only worked for one man.
- Live a life of joy; you only have one life. Why waste it with a pessimistic view on everything around you?
Research behind the 5 regrets from: this article
Glad to see you writing again. I agree with you totally and I regret the pass of loved ones that I failed to express the importance of the Gospel to. Inevitably, if you don't live a life for Christ, you are going to look back with regret.
ReplyDeleteSo... Let's live this verse: Gal. 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." :)
