Most Common Death Bed Regrets

This article was posted on Twitter - The Most Common Death Bed Regrets

They are:

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 didn't work 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.

Today, I am promising myself that I will not have these regrets in life.  I will continue to follow my dreams, even if they're silly- especially if they're silly.  I won't focus on monetary matters (unless they relate directly to pursuing said dreams).  I will let people know exactly how much I care about them, and I won't hide my sadness or love or joy or fear.  I will not let those I love slip away from me.  And above all, I will choose, forever, to be gloriously, pompously, decadently, illuminatingly happy.
 
In that spirit, a song that everybody who is the owner of their own life should hear- 
 
Ten Things by Paul Baribeau.
