Often when people are on their deathbeds, they never regret not having worked hard enough or rarely, they don't regret moments when they would ultimately say: "Well, I should have worked harder, I should have made more effort", they don't have that kind of regret.
When a person is on their deathbed… I haven’t met any personally, but I read a book that was ultimately a study. They would interview people who were on their deathbeds and they would see what the majority of people answered, what their biggest regret was. Often, their regret was having missed time with their loved ones, it was not having attempted a big project. They had regrets that were relatively, how can I say, regrets of a lifetime and not one-off regrets about a small project.
It's the same thing with people I have a australia whatsapp number data neighbor who is retired, I talk to him very often and he told me that he regretted not having enjoyed his children enough when they were younger. He said: "I worked a lot, I wasn't home often and so I didn't see them grow up." He regretted that.
So, for me, the tombstone exercise allows you to be a sort of compass, a sort of North Star. I had recorded an episode in which I already talked about it, at that time. Hello. Hop. I met another walker. It's rare, here. In this episode where I talked to you about the North Star, it was basically you follow your priority, your vision.
You can do this kind of thing with the tombstone. The tombstone ultimately gives you this priority and it allows you to define your priorities, to define the things that are really important to you and above all it allows you to act as much as you can so as not to have any regrets when you retire, so as not to have any regrets when you are on your deathbed saying to yourself: "Wow! For 50 years, 60 years, 70 years, I thought about this thing and yet my priorities were elsewhere". The best thing, in my opinion, is to define your priorities beforehand and to make sure to give them all the attention, all the energy that they deserve, these priorities.
