Maybe you’ve heard of the hospice care nurse who recorded the top regrets of her patients. If you haven’t, the most common ones had nothing to do with wanting more power, more money or more stuff. Most people spoke of wishing they’d lived a life more true to themselves – not what others expected of them. They also spoke of wishing they’d been happier, and recognizing that happiness is a choice. Lastly, many wished they’d maintained more close and meaningful relationships.

What people think of during their dying days gives you a real look into what humans always want – even when they’re young and healthy. We want meaning, connection and joy. And that can be a starting point for finding your purpose.
