“If I knew that I only had 1 year to live, what would my priorities be?”
Not very many people think about death and dying.
It’s a morbid topic, but one that no one will escape from.
However, I’ve found that it’s a really good way of looking at the world. Having a long term view helps me with a lot of my decision making, especially around my priorities.
Deathbed regrets I 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 want to have:
1. Not 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 when spending time with my ninjas during their growing up years 👨👨👧
2. Not 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 talking to them and telling them how much I love them and how much they mean to me ❤
3. Not 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 to be strong and give me quality of life until the end 🏋🏻♀️
4. Letting 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 atrophy over time 🌱
5. Not 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, with all my quirks and flaws 🌹
There are probably a few more, but I’ll stick with the top 5 for now.
What are yours?
