No regrets, you swear to yourself as you move through life. But the beginning of a new year may make you wonder: Am I making the most of my time on Earth?
Your elders can provide some perspective. When hundreds of older people were interviewed about their biggest life regrets, many said spending too much time worrying was a mistake. “Life is so short. What you will regret is weeks or months of mindless, self-destructive ruminating worrying,” they said. “You’re going to wish you had that time back.” Just stop worrying so much because worry wastes your life.
Follow the link to see all of their biggest life regrets, including not taking enough chances, and their advice on how to avoid them. |

According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |
