What people regret the most (5)
I wish that I had let myself be happier.
This is a surprisingly common one. Many does not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They stay stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflow into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change make them pretend to others, and to their selves, that they are content. When deep within, they long to laugh properly and have silliness in their life.
When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.
Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.
Amen!
What a great reflective article. Life is all about choices. It reminds of the saying “We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing”.
