"Don't die with your music still inside you."

~Wayne Dyer~

For many years, Bronnie Ware provided palliative care for patients who had gone home to die. In her book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, she shares their insights on living a life free of regrets.

Her patients often regretted that they:

1. Didn't have the courage to live a life true to themselves, instead of what others expected of them.
2. Worked so hard that they missed out on key family moments.
3. Didn't express their true feelings, just to "keep the peace."
4. Didn't stay in touch with friends.
5. Didn't let themselves be happier by choosing to be happy.
