I consume countless hours of content every week.

Some of it is good, some of it is bad… and every now and then it is absolutely phenomenal.

This week I want to share pieces of a single blog post that will be the best content you consume all week. Maybe even all month.

The author, Bronnie Ware, worked as a nurse in palliative care. Her patients would typically come to her with less than 12 weeks to live.

From spending years talking with people who are on their deathbed, she noticed 5 common 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 hadn’t worked 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.

To go even deeper I highly recommend reading Ware’s original blog post linked in the title.

It will be worth your time.

I hope this impacts you like it impacted me this week.

Go out and prevent your regrets. Go out and make a difference.

Her full-length memoir, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, shares further wisdom from dying people and how Bronnie's own life was transformed through this learning.
