10 Things People Regret the Most Before They Die

When younger we make various choices without the future in mind. Sometimes those choices bite us in our mid-life. These are some of the things one might regret after years from now.

1- I wish I had cared less about what other people think.
Stop wasting your moments on other people's opinions. Ultimately they are just opinions from those who don't fully share your reality.

2- I wish I'd lived more in the moment.
Make a difference today. Make it a day worth remembering.
Take a few moments now and then and revisit your business, your life, your leadership.
Ask yourself if there is anything that you might regret later. And if there is, take action.
Later will be now before you know it.

3- I wish I'd stopped chasing the wrong things.

When you let the wrong things go, you can give the right things a chance to catch you.

4- I wish I had faced my fears.
Life is found in the distance between your deepest desire and your greatest fear. Remember, fear is only temporary, but regret lasts forever.

5- I wish I had lived up to my full potential.
Live up to your own aspirations, not down to others' expectations. There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

6- I wish I had lived up to my full potential.
Live up to your own aspirations, not down to others' expectations. There is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.

7- I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

8- I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship. Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

9- Hiding Your True Self To Impress Others
It may feel like you need to wear a mask and hide your authentic self if you are to ever get ahead in life, but this is a lie. In fact, it is those who allow their true self to shine through that often find themselves at the head of the queue. They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but their honesty is palpable and the right people will recognize and reward it.
By being yourself, you not only build trust and loyalty, but it’s also a great deal less draining; holding back or faking your personality is as tiring as it comes.

10 - Not Following Your Dreams
From a very young age, we all have dreams about what we’d like to achieve in life. Despite this, a relatively small number of people ever chase their dreams and follow them through to fruition.
