Two days in a row, my friends forwarded me 2 different articles, but all speaking clear and loud of the same message. In the post "It's good to be reminded", I referred to how everybody is struggling to balance the 5 balls "Work, family, health, friends and spirit" in the air.
In this new article, I am once reminded of the top 5 most common regrets when we are faced with our own mortality. I wish myself and all of us the best of luck in minimizing our regrets, by living a life to the fullest, and every choice we make is to bring us the ultimate Happiness.
I really like how it was said in the article:
"Each [patient] experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance.
Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them"
I am happy that every single of them, or every single of us, will find our inner peace...
The Top 5 regrets:
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 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
It kinda concerns me a bit... as it might not be a coincidence that my friends keep signaling this message to me... It's good to be reminded again.

Good article. I think people always have something to regret about. It's more important to point 5: let yourself be happier ...
