List of Things You’ll Regret When You’re Older

This past year has taught me a lot about growing up and taking advantage of the opportunities that are in front of us. The biggest hurdle of the past year was my father passing away. I'm still sad about it happening, but it also made me realize that we will all die one day, so to live life to it's fullest until that day comes.

Last week my wife Savannah send me this list and after reading through the list of 30 things people regret the most when they're older I wanted to pass it along to you. This list reminds me to not hesitate or wait for anything to happen in life, if you want something make it happen.

Here is the list according to familylifegoals.com on the 30 things people regret most often when they're older.

• Less traveled
• Never learned another language
• Relationship regrets
• Allowing fear to stop you from trying something
• Overlooking your health
• Stay in a toxic or stagnant job
• Education
• Were unhappy with yourself
• Said "I love you" too rarely
• Didn't listen to advice from parents
• Were self-absorbed
• Supported others while neglecting themselves

Just like I have been told many times in my life, don't try to accomplish everything at once. Pick one or two items off this list that really resonate with you and work on those items. And as you see improvement move to others you want to work on. In life, you want to always be improving. Remember no one is perfect, but we can always strive to do better and be better.
