What is one regret old people always have?

I wish I had known how short life truly is.

I always thought I would have more time.

To learn, to travel, to just enjoy the day. And then all of a sudden, you start to feel the effects of aging.

And not everything is possible

I have a wonderful little granddaughter and appreciate her so much more than I appreciated her father at that age.

Every moment is precious. And I am not that old. And I’m relatively healthy. So, appreciate your youth, health, and family, life …more.

Thank you?…While it's not accurate to say that all old people have the same regrets, there are some common themes that tend to emerge when people reflect on their lives as they age.

One regret that is often cited by older individuals is not having spent enough time with loved ones or not having maintained relationships as well as they would have liked.

?Many people wish they had prioritized their relationships more and made more time for family and friends.

Other common regrets include not taking more risks, pursuing their passions, or following their dreams.

Some people regret not having traveled more, not taking better care of their health, or not saving more for retirement.

Regrets can vary greatly from person to person, but these are some of the more common themes that tend to come up when people look back on their lives.

It's important to remember that everyone's life experiences and regrets are unique, and not all older individuals necessarily share the same sentiments.

Delivered the best I could have done with the gifts I was given.

It’s not about how many things I haven’t done, it simply that Personal life care live in support of life care and there are a few regrets I see coming up again and again, not only in the elderly but in all kinds of people facing the very near end of their life.

?The number one regret well there are two really are not spending more time with the people that really mattered to them, and not living their life for themselves doing what others expected of them, or what they felt society dictated they should be doing with their life.

It fits in best with what I least regret/most satisfied about. I have turned down massive jobs for what in retrospect were sound reasons.

But these, however remarkable they might seem to others, fade away in the faceover eight decades I have now learned enough to KNOW that I did not deliver as much to my family and other people as I could have done-and the regret is that I still feel that I SHOULD have done.

Anyone else agree?

Live your life the way you want.

Don’t feel pressured to do things other people want you to do.

Don’t choose a job just because your parents or your culture tells you to. Do what you love, take risks, live for today, and appreciate little everyday things.

Above all spend as much time as you can with the ones you love, and the ones that make you feel good. Forget the rest, they won't matter in the end.

Live your life as if this is your last year. You can’t rely on getting to become old, time is a luxury many in this life never find out they don’t have until it's too late.

Your Comments …..

Don’t find yourself spending those last days wondering how it could have been.

My first, and most hurtful regret is that I spent any of my time trying to make people like, or approve of me, this is comparable to slamming your head into a brick wall!!

The second regret is my lack of ability to persevere over anything. I always quit before I could be condemned, but then spent my time condemning myself.

The third regret is being so very impulsive, a decision made in haste was one of my many downfalls.

Heir value systems, choice of free time activities, senses of humor, energy levels, sleep cycles, physical chemistry, interests and general demeanor all are on completely different planets.

You wonder how they ever got together. The obvious thing for them to do is break up.

They keep moving forward, move in.
