“Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of
embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of
thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
When I remember this for myself, it never fails to inspire me to do what truly makes me happy and is important to me and my values. Hopefully this inspires you as much as it does me!
1. Not starting a business
Many of us dream of having their own their own business that they have a passion for. But we rarely take action to actually start it because we are afraid of failing, losing money or people laughing at us. Rather what it should be about though is asking yourself whether not taking action today will be a decision you would regret in the future.
2. Not spending much time with family (and those close to you)
Time is precious. It is something that you can never get back no matter what. Make the most of the time you can give to your family & friends to not be regretful later when you don't have an opportunity to spend more time with them. Try to understand that nothing can be more important than those closest to you because they are the people who will be with you always, in rain and sunshine and in the good and the bad times.
3. Not investing in stocks or real estate
Getting started with investing, whether thats in stocks or real estate, is one of the best things you could do right now. Compound growth of your investments, is one of the most powerful financial tools we have to build financial independence. It may sound crazy to set aside money for retirement in your 20s (or earlier) but a few years could make a difference of tens of thousands of dollars, or more, thanks to compound interest. Time is really the most important thing in the context of money and being in a comfortable financial situation.
4. Not expressing feelings to someone
To truly be known, we must also express our feelings. Resist the safety of silence. Have the courage to be honest with others, even when we’re uncomfortable. Even when it can bring temporary pain.
On top of that, not doing so is taking an enormous risk. We may lose the chance at any moment. Almost all elderly people regret not expressing their feelings fully to loved ones that have passed. I certainly will try my best to so at all times in the future.
5. Not having a healthy body
Many people that neglect this regret this at a later stage in live as your are more likely to being sick and enduring suffering + pain.
Eat right. Sleep right and Exercise & move enough to keep your human body functioning and mind & body sharp at all times.
Taking care of yourself is easier than being sick and unhealthy. Additionally, the benefits of a healthy body are practically limitless... some advantages: better mood, increased confidence, weight loss, reduced cancer risk and the list goes on !
6. Not saving for retirement
More than half of today’s retirees have regrets about the way they saved for retirement, and their No. 1 regret is not saving aggressively enough. When you’re in your 20s, retirement seems ages away, which may lead People to put off saving for retirement.
I am not saying that your only goal should be to put all your money to the side for retirement and don't spend anything. I just encourage you to be more aware of where your money goes and how you structure your priorities when spending.
This leads to you being able to cut out spendings that you don't really need or that don't bring your happiness/ fullfillment.
7. Not travelling to see the world
Over and over, the elders revealed that their greatest life regret was not travelling enough. Some thought it was too expensive, some put it off after having children, whilst others decided to wait until retirement, often by which time it was too late.
But experiences, memories, moments shared doing something completely amazing – those are the things you’ll actually remember when you’re old and grey, and when you do you won’t think about the stress it took to save the money or the job you left to make the dream a reality, you’ll just remember the feeling.
