4 decisions people regret most
Parents tell their children things like, “You might not want kids now but you’ll regret not having them when you’re older”. This giant generalization turns out to be rather untrue. Ironically, a lot of what our culture and parents tell us we should do might turn out to be the decisions we regret most.
Here are 4 decisions that people regret most:
1. Marrying the wrong person
Around two thirds of marriages nowadays will end up in divorce. Of the ones that stay together, a good % suck big time. Being married to someone you find limiting, irritating, and or sexually undesirable is unfortunately the rule rather than the exception.
2. Choosing the wrong career
Your career is what you spend a huge chunk of your adult waking life doing. Forget about how much money you make doing it for one second. If you don’t like it, QUIT! Money is certainly a major factor to consider when choosing a career, but make sure your enjoy your life doing whatever you do. It doesn’t matter how cool your mom feels when she says, “Well, my son’s a doctor you know”.
3. An unhealthy lifestyle
Unfortunately, many people don’t realize this one until they are diagnosed with some life-threatening illness. Take care of yourself. If you haven’t been doing it, start now.
4. Not traveling
Does your whole life take place in a 50 km radius? That’s pretty sad if it’s true. When people look back on their lives, they regret not seeing the world. 90 year old people never say, “I wish I saved my money and didn’t waste it on that stupid trip when I was 30″
