2. In this episode…

3. We’ll look at how to NOT
live a life of regrets

4. It is not intended as an
exhaustive how-to
guide to…

5. Living a life of
no regrets

6. Rather…

7. It’s meant to get you to
start thinking about
what’s TRULY important…

8. To you and to begin
moving towards it

9. Now…

10. The word regret was first
used around 1530s

11. It meant “pain or distress
in the mind at something
done or left undone”

12. The dictionary
defines it as…

13. A sense of loss,
disappointment,
dissatisfaction, etc

14. Sometime in the 1st
half of 2017…

15. I remember speaking to a
VERY respectable 60 year
old man who said…

16. He knows he was born
for greatness and yet…

17. The gap between his
reality and his vision
is way too wide

18. And at this point
in his life…

19. He is extremely
desperate and
quickly running
out of time

20. Now one of my ALL TIME
favorite quotes is…

21. By Henry
David
Thoreau

22. He says…

23. “The mass of men lead
lives of quiet desperation”

24. And I know that to be
ABSOLUTELY TRUE…

25. From speaking
at length…

26. With people all
over the world

27. As an Australian
nurse, Bronnie
Ware has
recorded…

28. The top regrets
of the dying

29. Here are the top 5
which will provide…

30. Valuable insight
to you and me

31. #1… I wish I had
the courage to
live a life true to
myself, not the
life others
expected of me

32. On this note…

33. If you’re constantly living
to please other people…

34. That’s a surefire way of
having a poor life
with regrets

35. #2… I wish I
hadn't worked
so hard
And this is particularly true
for men!

36. #3… I wish I
had the
courage to
express
my feelings

37. Hey… if you hadn’t
expressed your love…

38. Towards your loved ones
for some time now…

39. Go do it! :)

40. #4… I wish I
had stayed
in touch with
my friends

41. #5… I wish
that I had
let myself be
happier

42. Interestingly, this last one
is one of the top goals
when I speak to people

43. So how can we choose
a life of no regrets?

44. Here’s one
approach

45. And it’s by Jeff
Bezos of
Amazon who
calls it…

46. The Regret Minimisation
Framework

47. Sounds geeky eh? :)

48. But the idea behind it is
actually pretty simple

49. You project
yourself
forward to the
age of 80

50. The average human
lifespan being only 69
to 71.5 years old
by the way

51. Looking back
on your life…

52. You want to minimise the
number of regrets

53. When you “time travel a
little” to the age of 80
and consider your
potential regrets…

54. Things tend to get
a lot CLEARER

55. And you’ll have a lot
better of a perspective

56. In Jeff Bezos’ case…

57. The decision
became simple

58. He knew he would
regret at 80 for…

59. Not trying
out his idea
of selling
books online

60. Though he was having
a well paying job
at that time

61. He knew he wouldn’t
regret failing…

62. But he would definitely
regret for not trying

63. Well… he quit his job,
founded Amazon…

64. And as they say… the
REST is history!

65. At this point…

66. I’ll give you some ideas
for what might be
important to do

67. So you live a life
of no regrets

68. Could be
pursuing a
“more”
spiritual
path…

69. Or even joining
the mission field

70. Perhaps
opening
yourself to a
new love
relationship

71. Embarking on a
completely different
vocation which…

72. You intuitively know
will fulfill you

73. Starting a
business
around your
passion

74. Taking substantial time
off from your work…

75. To build
homes &
schools for
the less
privileged

76. Developing your interest -
e.g. Singing, dancing,
arts, cooking, etc

77. Or even migrating to a
completely different
country to begin
a new life

78. And the list goes on
and on and on

79. As we wrap up, allow
me to share some
quotes with you

80. Someone once said…

81. “The saddest summary of
life contains three
descriptions: could have,
might have, and should
have.”

82. A Yiddish
Proverb says…

83. “A man is not old until his
regrets take the place
of his dreams”

84. Mark Twain
said…

85. “Twenty years from now
you will be more
disappointed by…

86. The things you didn’t
do than by the ones
you did do…

87. So throw off
the bowlines.
Sail away
from the
safe harbor.

88. Catch the trade winds in
your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover.”

89. And the late
Steve Jobs
said…

90. “Remembering that you
are going to die is the
best way I know to…

91. Avoid the trap of thinking
you have something
to lose…

92. You are already naked.
There is no reason not
to follow your heart.”

93. So love yourself enough
to take ample time and…

94. Ask what you would
regret if you did not
do in your life

95. Go ahead…
have fun…
stay childlike…

96. You only have 1 life…
live it FULLY!

97. Meantime, I’ll love to
hear from you at

episode…

99. Stay WILD at
heart &
don’t live to
regret! =)
