No Regrets

I was all set to post some song lyrics this beautiful Monday morning, but then I came across an article that a friend of mine posted to her facebook and decided it needed to be posted today instead.

The article is entitled "The Top 5 Regrets in Life By Those About to Die".  Yes, it is a very morbid title and death is not something that any of us like to think about, but the article is very inspirational - urging us to change the way we live our lives.

Here is the full article for those interested (I encourage you to read the entire thing - it's not very long):  http://addicted2success.com/success-advice/the-top-5-regrets-in-life-by-those-about-to-die/

But for those of you who want the quick run down, here are the 5 regrets, without the more detailed explanations:

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.

They say hindsight is 20-20, so why not listen to people who have this perfect vision?  Living a life without regrets takes gumption!
