I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done.” Lucille Ball

What will you regret not doing in this lifetime? Bronnie Ware, an end of life nurse wrote a book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing after she spent years with the dying and heard the same ‘regrets’ over and over again.

• "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."

• "I wish I hadn't worked so hard."

• "I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings."

• "I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."

• "I wish that I had let myself be happier."

Imagine you’re 90, what would be your greatest regret?
