" We are all busy. Life happens. There’s always something to distract us from getting around to certain things we know we should do.
Soccer practice. Work. Home renovations. Getting that next big promotion.
And with the explosion of always-on smartphones and tablets delivering a fire hose of urgent emails, not to mention Twitter and Facebook (FB), in recent years, things have only gotten busier.
In the backs of our minds, we know we’re neglecting some stuff we should do. But we never get around to it.
Then, something happens. A good friend or loved one – maybe close to us in age – drops dead unexpectedly. We begin to think about what our biggest regrets would be if we were suddenly sitting on our death bed.
Here is a list of the 25 biggest ones we’ll probably have.
The question is, are you going to change anything this afternoon or tomorrow in light of this list? Or are you going to go back to your busy life?
1. Working so much at the expense of family and friendships.
2. Standing up to bullies in school and in life.
3. Stayed in touch with some good friends from my childhood and youth.
4. Turned off my phone more/Left my phone at home.
