The 10 Most Common Regrets Everyone will have In Their Old Age.

This is probably one of the most important articles in your life, So better you know them.

This is based on a collection of elderly people who are experiencing their last years of life.

1. I Wish I Dared To Live Life For Myself, Not That Life Which Others Expected From Me.

This appears to be the most common regret of all when people realize that their life is coming to an end. It’s easy to notice how many dreams have remained unfulfilled. People look back and find they haven’t achieved even a fraction of their dreams, abandoning one’s dreams for fear of disappointing the expectations of others is the most common complaint when it comes to regrets later in life.

People are shaped by their culture or family’s values which drive their decision-making but this too often leads people to follow in their family’s footsteps and not treading their own path.

Listen to the advice of those who have more experience and those who love you, but always remember to be what you want to be and not to be others’ expectations.
