Yes, I know “regrets” is spelled wrong, but I had to get your attention.
That’s how life works, doesn’t it?
We scroll past what matters until something feels off.
We only stop when something jars us: a misspelling, a mistake, a moment that forces reflection…
But this is life calling.
Bronnie Ware once sat beside the dying and asked what they regretted most.
The answers are, well, hauntingly familiar.
“I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself.”
“I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.”
“I wish I had the courage to express my feelings.”
“I wish I had stayed in contact with my friends.”
“I wish I had let myself be happier.”
It’s not big failures that break us; it’s the quiet compromises piling up until we forget who we are.
We become products of our environment.
We chase approval over purpose.
Carry guilt like it’s currency.
And confuse busyness for living.
But reality?
Life isn’t asking for perfection.
It’s asking for presence.
Be you.
Live simply.
Let go of guilt.
Allow joy to exist without permission.
One day, your life will whisper the same question Bronnie heard…
“Did you live true?”
