Life is too short to be wasted on grudges, to tolerate a bad attitude, to worry about what others will say about you. You need to live here and now, and only we ourselves can make ourselves happy.
There are things that a person regrets very much in old age.
That I didn’t travel when I had the opportunity
With age, it becomes more difficult for a person to travel. He has a family, children, responsibilities, sores creep out. And he begins to regret that he did not go to the countries of his dreams in his youth, especially since he had such an opportunity.
Living in a toxic relationship
I endured, closed my eyes to something, waited for everything to change, but the years passed, and they were simply wasted on toxic relationships. Unfortunately, the realization that it was necessary to leave them sometimes comes too late.
Not using sunscreen
The sun gives light, and also very badly spoils the skin, causing aging. To avoid skin problems, you need to take care of it from a young age.
That he did not attend the concert of his favorite performer, although there was an opportunity
Either there was no time, it was a pity for the money, in the end, the beloved performer ended his career, or just going to his concert is no longer possible.
That I wanted to, but did not dare to do something
With age, the question arises: "What was I so afraid of?" You have to try, go ahead, make mistakes, fall, get up and move on.
That he did not go in for sports
A young organism can withstand enormous stress. And when a person turns 40, 50 or more, he can only dream of what he could have done before.
That he thought and lived stereotypically
Probably, many have heard phrases like: “But in our times they didn’t do that”.
That he always worked at a job he didn't like
Yes, we need money to live. But, if you do not try to change the situation, and spend your whole life plowing at the hated work, one day you can wake up and realize that you have lived 30-40 years like in hell.
That I did not understand my beauty
Many people are not happy with their appearance, and it is only over the years that self-acceptance comes. Why not realize all your beauty today?
That I rarely said "I love" to my loved ones
We communicate with people and we think that they know about our feelings. And then it’s too late, and we reproach ourselves for not saying the simple “love”.
That he didn’t consider the advice of his parents important
Do teenagers listen to their parents? Yes, and at an older age, people consider the opinion of their "old people" just an opinion, nothing more. But everything that our parents told us about life is the truth.
Showing selfishness
Over the years, this behavior becomes very ashamed.
About worrying about someone else's opinion
Over the years, it becomes all the same for approval or condemnation from others. So why worry about it now?
About not fulfilling my dreams
Instead, he supported others. Support is, of course, good, but you shouldn't give up on yourself!
That he took offense at loved ones a lot
Life is too short to be wasted on negative emotions.
About not helping those who need it
There are many disadvantaged, sick people in the world who need help. But you can make very little effort and help those who need it.
That he didn’t take care of his teeth
In his youth, a person sometimes neglects the advice of dentists or older people. And it is necessary to carry out oral hygiene from a young age, remove tartar, use a floss, and visit a doctor. It will seem so easy when the dentures are already in place.
That he had little contact with grandfather and grandmother
These people could tell so many fascinating things about the family. But you should have asked about this earlier ...
That I worked hard
Everyone wants his family to live in abundance. But you still need to pay attention to your loved ones, spend more time with them, travel, relax. In old age, a person greatly regrets that he spent almost all his time only on work.
That I haven’t learned to cook
This item is not for everyone. Why not learn how to cook at least one chic signature dish to make the holidays at home extra special?
That I didn’t appreciate the moments
Our whole life consists of moments, but they sometimes seem unimportant on the way to achieving the goal. But sometimes you just need to pause and enjoy the present.
That I did not finish what I started
Let's say I wanted to go to some courses, but then changed my mind, began to engage in an interesting hobby, but abandoned everything ...
That I didn’t thank
He did not thank others, God, the Universe, because every moment in our life is a gift!
That I couldn't let go of the relationship
People meet and then leave. And you need to learn to let go of the relationship right away. Unfortunately, the majority of people at first suffer for a long time, wasting energy, effort and time on this, and then they realize that everything is over long ago and they need to live on.
That he played little with children
Children grow up very quickly. While they are small, they really need parents, but then interventions in the life of their ancestors are not so important, and sometimes they start to annoy. Play with your little ones, don't ask them to shut up, leave the room, leave you alone. With age, you will have peace, but the kids will no longer be around.
That I was afraid to take risks
Sometimes one bold act can drastically turn life for the better. But, of course, a miss can happen. How do you know if you're lucky or not if you don't risk it?
That he did not try to establish contacts
With your old friends, distant relatives, classmates, etc.
That I experienced a lot
How will you change the situation if you worry about it? Most of what you worry about never happens.
Getting into drama
Who needs it at all?
That he rarely hugged loved ones
The time spent with loved ones is simply priceless. Now your significant other, your children, and your parents are nearby. And right now you can hug them, kiss them, spend time with them. And then you may not have such an opportunity!
