1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people have had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. 

It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it. 

This is the first one, and the best one. I've thought a lot about this one recently. There is only one thing stopping us from living the life we want to lead--ourselves and the choices we make.

Don't be a pussy who dies full of regrets. Live the life you want to lead. You'll be dead soon. Get to it.
