As I get older and the years seem to fly by I’m having more and more regrets about the things I have not done and more than ever I’m wondering if I’ll ever get to them before my time is up.

For that reason it caught my attention when I came across a list of things you MUST NOT DO or else you will definitely have regrets at the end of your life. 

  • Not traveling when you had the chance because it’s gets harder as you get older and have responsibilities.

  • Not learning another language.  I took three years of Spanish in high school and with apologies to the Carfora Sisters I forgot much more than I learned. I wish I could do more than just count to ten and order a beer.
  • Missing a chance to see and hear your favorite musicians.  All the concerts I could have gone to but saved for another day and that day in some cases is over.

  • Being afraid to do things although it’s not too late to sky dive.

  • Not trying harder in school.  Just getting by is not good enough.

  • Failing to make physical fitness a priority because as you get older you realize how important it is to take care of your body.

  • Caring too much about what other people think. When you’re older, you’ll realize that the opinions of others does not factor into your true happiness.

  • Not moving fast enough.  Don’t hesitate to make decisions.

  • Not standing up for yourself.  Just because others may disagree with you, it does not mean you have to abandon your principals.
  • Worrying too much, especially about things that haven’t happened yet.

  • Missing the chance to talk to your grandparents before they die.  They hold a lot of knowledge and they’ll only be around for a little longer.

  • Not stopping to appreciate the moment.  Everything does not require a picture.Sometimes its better just to take it all in.

  • Getting caught up in needless drama.

  • Refusing to let friendships run their course.  Sometimes people drift apart and forcing that connection could actually do more harm than good.

  • Working too much.  No need to elaborate in my case.

Bottom line: it’s time to work on my Bucket List.
