40 Things You'll Regret When You're Old. A Positive Motivational Video to Help Change Your Life Today! Life is a beautiful thing and every day we spend on earth is a blessing. Life gives us the opportunity to reach for our dreams, share moments with loved ones, and live each day to its fullest. Like most things in life, there is a beginning and an end and what we do today is what counts to avoid regrets later in life. As we get older and look back, there may be some regrets about the choices we made or didn’t make.
Here are 40 of the most popular things that older people wished they would have done when reflecting back on their lives.
1 Not living to your full potential. Ever since we were kids, we've set the bar higher in everything we do. Never settle and follow your passion to succeed.
2 Not staying in touch with childhood friends. There are probably friendships you lost because your family had to move away. The thought of picking up the phone years later and calling them came up but you never did. Make the call.
3 Not listening to your parent’s advice. Our parents have decades of life experiences and they learned it all without the internet. Their knowledge is so much more important and meaningful.
4 Not learning to speak another language. Being fluent in other languages provides more opportunities for work and provides more enjoyment when traveling to other countries.
5 Not leaving a bad relationship. Most people stay in a bad relationship in hopes that it will eventually get better. The longer you wait, the more you are putting your own happiness aside.
6 Not putting on sunscreen. Wrinkles, skin discoloration, and even skin cancer are just some of the reasons to avoid sun damage.
7 Not seeing your favorite band or musician. It’s easy to put it off in hopes that you’ll catch them in the future but let’s face it, bands break up. See them when the opportunity comes up.
8 Not doing things out of fear. We might not do things because we are scared of trying it but the only way to live life to the fullest is to try new things.
9 Not taking the time to exercise. It’s important to take care of your body and it’s never too late to exercise. A healthy body will ensure more enjoyment out of life as you grow older.
10 Not being the person you want to be by letting gender roles define you. Don’t let society tell you what you can or cannot do in life. Just follow your heart.
11 Not quitting a job you hate. If you wake up every morning and dread going to work, find a job you love. Your happiness comes first and the sooner you do it, the happier you will be.
12 Not doing your best in school. Having a good education opens up so many opportunities and always be dedicated to everything you do.
13 Not realizing how beautiful you are inside and out. Never shortchange yourself or think you need to change for other people. Be comfortable with who you are and that confidence will shine through.
14 Not saying "I love you" enough. Take every opportunity to express your love for others because each day we get to spend with them is a gift.
15 Not taking the opportunity to travel when you are young. The older you get, the more difficult and expensive it becomes to travel.
16 Not being compassionate towards others. Some spend their youth as a self-absorbed person but they eventually realize that the world doesn’t revolve around them. Be the best friend and person you can be.
17 Not being the person you want to be. Don’t care so much about what people think because their opinions should not determine your amount of happiness.
18 Not supporting your own dreams. Being nice is fine but not if it means sacrificing your own happiness.
19 Not moving fast enough on important matters. The faster we make decisions the quicker we could enjoy the results of those decisions. Successful people make decisions quickly and firmly.
20 Not forgiving people and holding grudges. Letting anger and resentment fester inside of you is not worth it. Let it go and move on. You’ll feel much better for doing so.
