On World Book Day I wanted to share a book that changed my life when I first read it many years ago and continue to read every year.
The Top Five Regrets of The Dying by Bronnie Ware.
Bronnie is an Australian nurse who spent several years working in palliative care, caring for patients in the last 12 weeks of their lives. When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently common themes surfaced again and again
In this episode I go through each regret and how it relates to me and you.
- “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.”
We can learn SO much from this. I don’t want to reach the end of my days with the same regrets and I don’t want you to either.
Do let me know what you think.
