“If only I had spent more time at the office.”

“It is a wise man who can learn from his own mistakes. But it’s a far wiser man who can learn from the mistakes of others.”

A regret is usually based on not achieving something you really want to occur in your life. Most people are too busy living their life to stop and imagine the regrets they might have when they are about to die.

There is the phenomenal clarity of vision that people realize on their deathbeds and at the end of their lives. The top regrets of the dying are:

• I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
• I wish I had taken better care of my health
• I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
• I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
• I wish that I had let myself be happier.
• I wish I had saved more and planned better for my retirement
• I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

The words people won’t say on their deathbeds are, “If only I had spent more time at the office.”

Always remember…Happiness is a choice.

The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives.

It is essential that you invest in your own good health. Many people take better care of their automobile than their own body. Or, many decide there’s no time to PT (military slang for workout) because they have too much work to do and making money is the priority. Yet, by the time you realize that you should have taken better care of your health, it’s probably too late.

Fear of change had them pretending that they were content, while deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.
