Regret Minimization​

  • "Things I'm doing at 43 to avoid regret when I'm 73:"

    • Taking care of my health & body so I don't become a burden to myself or my family as I get older.
    • Making family #1. Work is work & family is life. I won't regret spending more time with my family but I might regret working too hard that I miss the ballet recital.
    • Reminding myself of my impending death. Life is fickle & can get taken away from you at any time. This is why I pursue my dreams without abandon.
    • Learning how to grieve. As I get older I will face the death of my loved ones. I must prepare myself & my family for this.
    • Creating a will to provide peace of mind & clear direction about my wishes to my loved ones.
    • Choosing happiness over bitterness. As people get older they get bitter due to their perceptions of life. I'll strive to look at every day as a gift & treat it as such.
