2 Allowed fear to stop them from trying something.

A study conducted by the insurance company, Allianz, showed that being more adventurous was cited as a regret by a quarter of survey participants. You don’t have to jump out of a plane, but if there’s something you’ve always wanted to do, go outside of your comfort zone and try it.

3  Never finished what they started.

You lose the sense of accomplishment you feel after completion if you give up on everything you try without following through. Stick with it. It’s worth it.

4  Parenting guilt.

Spend enough time playing with the kids and teaching them life lessons. Kids remember your presence more than your presents.

5  Didn’t follow their passion.

This could be related to education, career, travel, or love. Maybe instead of applying for that dream job you chose a practical job instead. Or perhaps you still regret asking that girl to the prom all those years ago and it still haunts you. Don’t always take the path of least resistance. Take a chance. Your life may not change, but you won’t be left with a bunch of “what if’s” when you look back.5
