Live Your Life To The Absolute Fullest

After a crazy week I would have to say Friday ended on a pretty good note. And by ended I mean the last 2 hours of Friday. I had walk-ins, nothing to do and then everything to do. But in a pretty hectic day I was able to attend a training. The course  was about stress relief but somehow the counselor/professor ended up mentioning how televisions shouldn’t be in the bedroom and how beds are only for sleep and sex. Okay. She said a bunch of positive things that a bunch of negative people should have been there to hear but of course they didn’t attend. But the most impressive part of this training was an article mentioned about a study done in hospice; “Regrets of the Dying” . She went on a mini soap box but I found the article extremely intersting and requested the link so that I could take a closer look at what was on this dreadful list.

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’d stayed in touch with my friends”

5. “I wish that I had let myself be happier”

I had mixed feelings after reading the article in full but I am quite sure I’m on the right path in avoiding these types of regrets but whose to say there won’t be when I’m 80 years old. The most saddening part about this is that these people went their entire lives without either being happy or fulfilled in some manner and they feel like there was something they could have done about it but at this point it’s too late and the end.

I originally couldn’t wait to share this article with “DC” but, yeah. I shared it with you guys instead. I hope like myself it gave you some things to ponder. How do you compare? Are you living your life to the fullest? I plan to leave this earth with no regrets.
