Read a very interesting article on an author, motivational Speaker, song writer Bronnie Ware. She was a carer for terminally ill patients, a care taker or a nurse what we call here. In 2009, she started writing small blogs about nature, travel etc.
Her fourth post on the blog was life changing. Based on her 8 years of experience of care-taking the about to die patients, she wrote an article called ‘Regrets of the Dying’. It had the Top 5 regrets of the patients on their death bed which were told to her.
Though she started getting emails & comments from unknown readers, she had no idea how popular this post was going to become. A million people had read in a year and 8 million people within 4 years and is still counting.
She wrote a book on the same subject and it got translated in to 27 languages. You can read the blog here - Regrets of the Dying. She is now written 3 books and a motivational speaker.
For those who don’t read blogs, the top regrets as per that post 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 hadn’t worked 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.
What would be yours?
