My biggest fear in life is to have regrets.
A few weeks ago I stumbled into this article from viralnova.com on 37 regrets of the dying. So, I figured I would evaluate myself and how I’m doing on these… so that I make sure that zero of these are regrets when I’m old!
You say, what does this have to do with wealth? Well, wealth is an abundance of what you really want. It is freedom; personal, financial and spiritual freedom. And that is achieved by not having any regrets.
Here are the 37 regrets and the lessons that you can take away from these. Don’t let them be regrets for you!
1. Not traveling when you had the chance.
The world can really open up your eyes. From a small town in Ohio, I’ve always had the traveling bug. And I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to 21 countries and counting. I am in the middle of traveling for 7 months all throughout the U.S. and southeast Asia. The things you learn about yourself and others on these journeys are priceless.
A big lesson learned: cultures, people, things are not weird – they’re just different. Appreciate them and accept them for who/what they are, and your world will be so much better.
Lesson: Get outside of your comfort zone, and learn to appreciate the things that are different.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
