Let's talk regret.

 

Part 1: I wish I had the courage to live a life true to me (and not what others expected of me).   Authenticity   "I wanted to do things for me too and I just didn’t have the courage”   “The whole time knowing there was something else waiting but not having the courage to seek it”   “They say though that we do more to avoid pain than we do to gain pleasure.”   “it is possible to create lives where the traps that hold us back are self-created and desperately need releasing.”     “ Success doesn’t depend on someone saying yes... It is about having the courage to be you regardless”       Part 2: I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.   Work towards something, rather than for someone.   “In some ways, I wish I hadn’t wasted all of those years in a job that was pleasant but of very little significance to my true life’s work”     “There is so much more to life”     “We spend so much time making plans for the future, often depending on things coming at a later date to assure our happiness or assuming we have all of the time in the world, when all we ever have is our life today”   “My role had come to define me in a way.”   “I would love to have not cared what others thought of me”   Part 3: I wish I had the courage to express my feelings   Transparency / Wanting to be Heard/Understood   “I was too scared to let my feelings show. So I worked and worked and kept the family at a distance. ...Now I wish they really knew me”   “We must learn to express our feelings now…Not when it is too late. None of us ever know when it will be too late. Tell people you love them. Tell them you appreciate them. If they can’t accept your honesty or react in a different way to how you hoped, it doesn’t matter. What matters is you have told them.”   “Pride is such a waste of time”   “To express who I am now became more important. Yet, in other ways, it also became less important as I was also becoming less bothered by how I was perceived.”     Part 4: I wish I stayed in touch with my friends   Seeking and wishing connection w/ other human beings   “I wish I hadn’t lost touch with them. You imagine your friends will always be there...Suddenly you find yourself with no one in the world who understands you or who knows anything about your history.”   “Loneliness isn’t a lack of people. It is a lack of understanding and acceptance. Huge amounts of people the world over have experienced loneliness in crowded rooms”   “Missing the right friends for the right occasion”    “Don’t lose touch with the friends you value most. Those who accept you as who you are, and who know you very well, are worth more than anything in the end”     Part 5: I wish I let myself be happier   Personal Support   “I wish I’d let myself be happier...I just didn’t think I deserved to be... There was no need at all to feel guilty for being happy.”   “We can stop ourselves from being happy because we think we don’t deserve it or because we allow the opinions of others to become a part of who we are”   “It is too easy to always want more from life...and that’s fine to a degree, since expanding who we are is a part of dreaming and growing. But as we will never have everything we want and will always be growing, appreciating what we already have along the way is the most important thing”   To be happy...Sometimes I just have to get out of my own way first”   “While I was searching for my purpose in life, I forgot to enjoy myself along the way. It was all about the result of finding what I was looking for.”     “Don’t worry about the little stuff. None of it matters. Only love matters. If you remember this, that love is always present; it will be a good life”     “Because happiness is a choice Rosemary and one I try to make every day. Some days I can’t.”   “We have the freedom to choose what we focus on. I try to choose the positive stuff”   “I don’t think I ever felt like I deserved to be happy”. “You allow yourself to be”
