Regrets of the dying-what they would have done differently and what you can do now

We grow like flowers but are cut down by age

Life is short. Often we have no idea how short.

Few of us can know when our time is up and so it might make sense to ask those who know they are near death to reflect on the decisions they made, or did not make in life.

An entry on the blog site Inspiration and Chai is valuable in its clarity and simplicity.

In essence it says work less, value friends, be happy, speak your mind, do what you want, not what others expect and express your feelings more.

Nothing unexpected or unusual then but perhaps because we think we know these things we feel free to ignore them; rather as if they belong to someone else.

It's a good read to begin your day with. Take a look and then think about what you do. I've already started thinking about my own life.
