Top 5 Regrets

In my younger years, I was very ambitious my first priorities were my kids, but I really worked hard to build a business that would thrive, and I threw myself into my work.  Things are different now – I don’t have the drive the way I use to.

I don’t know if it was the death of my mom and dad who made me realize I needed to reassess things or my husband being diagnosed with Parkinsonism.  I now feel I want to slow down and just take a deep breath. I am yearning to do the things I haven’t done literally in years things I am passionate about like – oil painting, drawing, reading books I love not books to keep up with my industry.

I would love to be able to write a book of experiences or poetry and make enough money to live comfortably. I have written e-books on SEO and other business-related  things but what I really love to write about is life, thoughts, passions and emotions.

But then reality sets in and I realize I need to do what I am an expert at. I want to retire with enough money to be able to travel and do the things I love. I came across some information about what people regret when they die and this just solidified my thoughts.

Top 5 Regrets of the Dying

1. I wish would have had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I had not worked so hard.
3. I wish I would have 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.
