Five Fresh Starts for the Living

Written by Leave a Comment

Last year, when I attended the Storyline Conference, Don Miller reminded me of something I used to focus on, but have allowed circumstances to steal away. The fact that no matter how successful you are, work will not hold your hand when you’re dying. (My words, not his).

Five Fresh Starts for the Living
Brush the Dark Clouds Back with Your Choices Today

Don did share the Top Five Regrets of the Dying, by Bonnie Ware, a nurse who studied her dying patient’s final thoughts on things they wish they’d done differently. She came up with a pattern of sorrow, over a life lived in a pattern of mediocre choices — regardless of wealth or stature.

These are her top five regrets:

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

2. I wish I didn’t work so hard.

3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Do you need to change any of these while you still have time? See the Five Fresh Starts for the Living below — it’s never too late with Fresh Faith.
