You may be shocked to find out what a dying person regrets of having done. In some cases dying people regret of not having done something important.

Here are the most common regrets:

1. They wish they lived for themselves more
If you asked a nurse who takes care of patients suffering from serious health issues, she would first of all mention the fact that most of the dying people wish they lived for themselves more. We know that it’s rewarding to take care of others and love someone else. But if you do not love yourself, then your life becomes meaningless. Your life was given to you so that you could make yourself happy. Enjoy it and live for yourself more! The sad thing is that people tend to set aside time for their children, family members and friends. But the problem is that they believe that after they have taken care of the ones they love, they will have enough time to spoil and pamper themselves. Tomorrow never comes and they repeat making the same mistake over and over again. Then they get old or ill and only then do they understand that they should have lived their life in a different way. Make your dreams come true before it’s too late. Other people can wait and deal with their own issues without your help.

2. They wish they were happier
How happy you are depends on your mentality. Your mindset regulates the flow of your thoughts and emotions. Negative thinking ruins your pleasures and you start focusing on the worst moments and ignore all the positive events that happen to you on a daily basis. Happiness is not something that occurs to the luckiest folks. This is the way you perceive the world surrounding you. Be grateful for whatever happens and the things that you receive from your destiny. Your life is one of the greatest gifts you could have ever received from the universe. Appreciate it and remember to express your gratitude. Smile more often even during hardships.
