What would your greatest regret be in you knew today was your last.

in #motivation7 years ago

Most of us are afraid of the inevitable. The mere mention of it scares us so when often avoid the subject totally. As stated by Jim Rohn, "In the end, we experience either the pain of regret or the pain of success". What would you do differently if you knew today was your last? Most of us live everyday trying to fulfill other people's dreams which isn't bad but what about our dreams,who is fighting for it for us? It is said that those who have no definite goals have the tendency to leave their lives anyhow. Is that what we want? To be crackheads or screw-ups?

Don't be pissed by this blog. Everyday we live, could be our last. Whether we agree or not, it doesn't change this fact. I used to believe we will all have enough time to do as we wish as we grow but that was just a wishful thinking of a young boy. I hope you leave your life to the fullest and have minimal regrets in the end.

My greatest regret if i were to die today would be my inability to know and understand God fully.

Now, tell me what yours would be.

This post grab my attention, and i was like thinking of the regret i've been through in my daily life regret is not about if its your last day but its the regret of the things you werent done or did while you have the opportunity to choose the things that makes you happy and contented, now my greatest regret is that i was working on the job that i dont like, i mean its far from what i graduated, im a civil engineer but i was in an admin position, my workmates are great but the job is not, everyday im infront of many papers endorsement and all, far from what i expected. All I want is to practice, working the job of what engineers do. before its too late I was hoping that I can find a job with designing, and drafting :) xoxo

The greatest thing about this is, there is still time to rectify that.

Great post! That's a very interesting topic since it affects every single one of us and it's important to at least think about this situation once. I enjoy the way I live a lot and in my opinion I've reached a lot of my goals already, but the question we're always asking us is 'Is it enough?'
Make sure you're happy with the decisions you make, of course not all of them will turn out great, but that's how we learn from our mistakes. Make sure the people you're surrounded by are happy, but don't forget to take care of yourself too :)

Exactly. It will never be enough but if those we love are happy as we are, then it is a great win.

Very correct.
We all need to live our lives on daily basis with a strong sense of purpose, and being radically pragmatic.

Thanks for sharing @kwakumax.

Yes, if you don't have goals or plans for your life, life will just take you anywhere. It's good to have some plans, including a back up plan in case what you have originally planned did not work out at all. This also serves as a reminder that we cannot control how things will play out in the end, so we shouldn't beat ourselves up when life take us to a different direction.

Lovely and interesting point of view

Opportunities never taken will surely be my greatest regret.

Then start taking some head-on
