A few years ago Bronnie Ware, a palliative nurse summarised in a very successful blog [i], the top five regrets she heard from people dying:
- 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
