The 5 Regrets of Dying - Review
I’ve seen this book quoted for years now and finally sat down to read it… and I should’ve read it sooner.
SO good.
Being in the middle of the grind myself, right now— often times days are a blur. So many balls in the air and not enough TIME to handle them.
The reality is that most of what we worry about on any given day will be insignificant in the end…
So then what REALLY matters?
This book will definitely help you figure that out.
Here are the top 10 quotes
🧵
“Living regret-free is not something achievable in a flash. it is created by an ongoing day-to-day process of conscious decisions, loving actions to ourselves, and a whole bucket full of courage.”
“Success doesn't depend on someone saying yes, we will publish your book' or 'no, we won't. It is about having the courage to be you regardless.”
“We spend so much time making plans for the future, often depending on things happening at a later date to assure our happiness or assuming we have all the time in the world, when all we ever have is our life today.”
“There is nothing wrong with loving your work and wanting to apply yourself to it, but there is so much more to life. Balance is what is important, maintaining balance.”
“they think they won't be able to make money doing what they love, when it can really be the other way around. If you totally love what you do, you can become more open to the flow of money, because you are more absorbed in your work and are happier as a person.”
“Children are happier having more time with their parents than having more toys. They may complain at first, but the happiest children are those who get quality time with their parents-both parents if possible.”
“It is a pity that being who we truly are requires so much courage, but it does. It takes enormous courage at times. Being who we are, whoever that is, sometimes cannot even be articulated at first, even to ourself.”
“The clock ticks for every one of us. It is our own choice how we spend our remaining days.”
“It is easy to think that happiness depends on something falling into place, when it is the other way around. Things fall into place when happiness is already found.”
“It amazes me what we are truly capable of, creatively and physically, when we let go of all that holds us back”
