On the one hand there's the view that 20 years from now you will only regret the things you didn't do, But then again you can't do everything, so what do you decide to leave out, and how much will you regret that decision?
I don't really buy into the whole bucket list idea, but if you asked me what I'd like to do before I die; I'd say something like being able to run along my favourite river for at least the next 30 years, watch the sun rise over mountains in the east and see it setting over the western horizon. Spending time with friends and the people I love, and in some small ways make the world a better place.
Wishing you success if you're making New Year resolutions and if you're not, have a great 2016 anyway.

What about your right life?
ReplyDeleteAll the best with both your left and right lives.
I am not going to regret the things I didn't do. That's a very negative way of looking at the world because the number of things you didn't do is always infinite.
ReplyDeleteI don't really have a good answer to the question but I think part of the answer for me is to keep doing new things, learning new skills, seeing new places.
And beer. Definitely beer.
I like your list. And the last part reminds me of a lyric from a song by Frightened Rabbit: "While I'm alive, I'll make tiny changes to Earth."
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Don't regret the things you didn't do. Celebrate the things you did do. Life is full of infinite possibilities and limited time. Live life to the full. Your list is a good one Max

ReplyDeleteDo the next thing.
ReplyDeleteIt's the motto of some old family - can't remember which, but I try to remember it whenever the idea for a new project pops up. The next thing is always a new adventure.
