He'd probably tell you something along these lines:


Quote:3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life


Full article: Top Five Regrets of The Dying


This is an exercise often recommended in self-help and for a good reason, sometimes taught as "what would you do if you only had one day to live", or some other variation. I've been avoiding doing it, reading it inspired me to ManUp.

I would tell myself to TAKE ACTION! There's no use in sitting around and waiting for things to happen and if you want something, you must go for it. It's going to be ugly and you're going to make mistakes, but that is part of the process for anything in life. You can't just learn some techniques or tricks off the internet and expect to be a master.

I'd probably tell myself these things:

Age 16
-Fuck what everyone else thinks, you should totally bone her

Age 18
-Fuck what everyone else thinks, you should totally bone her

Age 20
-Fuck what everyone else thinks, you should totally bone her
-Also, try studying harder once in a while

The only one I can truly relate to at this stage in my life is "I wish I had made more effort to stay in touch with friends". I'm really bad at maintaining friendships. It sucks and I want to do better in future. I have all sorts of regrets about hurting women that I wish i had not hurt, but no regrets whatsoever about time spent with said women. On a general note, of course happiness is to the greatest part a question of attitude. Being in control of ones attitude and motivation is probably the most valuable skill to possess in this world.

That said, the person (can't tell if the author is m or f) who worked in palliative care for so long.. mad respect. That kind of occupation would tear me to shreds emotionally.

If this hasn't been shared in the Good Article Thread, it definitely should be.

I found this quote somewhere on Reddit

Your wish has been granted from the future and here you are now today.
Live your life as if you have been given a second chance...

Dude... I'm at work for the next 9 hours and it's sunny outside. You figure this is helping?

Yes. Grab your laptop and work in the sun?

Being 46 years old I would go back in time and mentor myself not to give into family social pressure. I would mentor a 20 year old version of me to skip university start my own software business.

All the wasted years between the ages of 20 and 30 I would give myself a kick up the ass and stop acting like a cry baby playing the role of the victim.

I'd say to myself: think less and take a lot more action!
