Life is a Choice!

Palliative care nurses work with dying people, typically for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. When patients were questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again:
1. "I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
2. "I wish I didn’t work so hard."
3. "I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings."
4. "I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."
5. "I wish that I had let myself be happier."

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness!

Rational Lies!

Making a complex decision is never easy. Your unconscious mind makes a snap judgement based on feelings, while you conscious mind attempts to come up with reasons for what you're feeling. It's hard to know if you're really making a rational choice for the "right" reasons, or if you're telling yourself "rational lies"!

Optimum Trajectory!

This is from George Clooney in the movie The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009): "Optimum trajectory. Your life is like a river. If you're aiming for a goal that isn't your destiny you're always going to be swimming against the current. Find out what your destiny is and the river will carry you. Sometimes events in their life give an individual clues as to where their destiny lies".

What are the clues in your life?
