Have you ever thought about whether your life would be happier if you could live your true colors? Have you ever thought about whether your life would be more exciting if you could change some of your choices? Have you ever thought about whether your life would be more perfect if you could avoid some regrets?
If you have such thoughts, then you must read this book - ‘Five Things You Regret Before Dying’. This book was written by Bronnie, an Australian caregiver who has cared for terminally ill patients for many years and heard what regrets they had about their lives. She summarized these regrets into five things, namely:
1. I hope to live my own life instead of living according to other people’s expectations.
In order to adapt to social standards, to please other people’s opinions, and to conform to family expectations, many people give up their dreams, bury their talents, and suppress their individuality. They haven’t really lived, they are just living someone else’s life. When they were dying, they realized that they had never lived a life of their own.
2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.
In order to make money, career, fame and fortune, many people ignore their health, their families, their interests, and their souls. They put most of their time and energy into work and missed a lot of good times, a lot of precious interpersonal relationships, and a lot of meaningful things. When they are dying, they regret that they did not enjoy life well, did not love well, and did not grow well.
3. I want to be more courageous in expressing my feelings.
In order to avoid conflict, maintain harmony, and maintain face, many people suppress their feelings, hide their thoughts, and compromise their positions. They dare not express their dissatisfaction, their needs, and their love. They allow their hearts to be damaged, their relationships to be affected, and their lives to be limited. When they were dying, they realized that they had not communicated sincerely, were not truly understood, and were not truly cared for.
4. I hope to be able to communicate with friends more.
In their busy lives, many people gradually lose contact with their friends, gradually forget their agreements, and gradually alienate their feelings. They don’t have time to make a phone call, send a message, or meet in person. They missed many friends’ birthdays, missed many friends’ weddings, and missed many friends’ important moments. When they were dying, they remembered that they had never cherished, been grateful, or accompanied them.
5. I hope to make myself happier.
Many people always complain, are always anxious, and always pessimistic when facing challenges and difficulties in life. They have no optimism, no positive attitude, and no sense of humor. They have never looked for sources of happiness, created opportunities for happiness, or shared happy moments. When they were dying, they realized that they had never laughed, never played, and never lived.
These regrets may also be your regrets, or they may be your regrets in the future. Therefore, we must reflect on our lives in a timely manner, adjust our direction in a timely manner, and change our choices in a timely manner. Let these regretful things become an important guide for the next period of your life, to help you, guide you, and guide you to live a life without regrets.
As the existential philosopher Heidegger said: ‘Transform from the daily, trivial, material-focused low-level daily mode to the high-level ontological mode - focus on your existence itself, and be full of awe of the things of the moment. ”
In the days to come, may we all be able to live a higher quality state of existence and live a life without regrets.
