Early-Bird Realizations...

An author, who is also the head nurse of a hospital in Australia was on the duty, looking after patients who were on their death beds. Through her interactions and conversations with her patients, she realized that though there were no similarities in them but most of the dying people had one thing in common. That is 'Their Regrets'

In her book, the author has shared the ‘Top Five Regrets’ dying patients have.

Let us take our learning from this to stay in the best versions, while we breathe and beyond.

Regret No 1:?I wish I had lived my life the way I wanted to and not get bogged down with what others with think, feel or say. This is not about being a rebel. It is about taking a stand for what you believe in while you maintain the sanctity of your environment.

Regret No 2:?I wish I had not been a pure workaholic.?This no where means you do not work towards achieving your professional goals. But if you are doing it at the cost of your health or the tears of your loved ones. It is time to re-think.?If this minute going by is not going to come back, you are paying a phenomenally heavy price for your definition of professional success?or glory.?

Make time for your loved ones and for people who love you even if both are not the same.? Remember...once gone, it is a no return formula.

Regret No 3:??I wish I would have been able to express what I felt. Well, I know that is a tough call because not everyone takes it in the right spirit. But do make sure you confess the due love, care, hurt and apology towards the people who matter. Just remember, it is a big-time self-help tool. Use it.

Regret No 4:?I wish I could have stayed connected to my people. Like said earlier, once gone, it is a no return formula.

Regret No 5:?I wish I would have let myself stay happy. We all know what makes us smile and gives us a space of peacefulness. Please do not let-go of it!
