Life, Health & Happiness - Live with No Regrets - Hovde for U.S. Senate

[Music] this is my second segment on life health and happiness and I'm going to stay with life when I was a young man I came to this conclusion if I could say two things I would probably end up having a happy life and look back favorably on my life and what were those two things one I did and saw everything I possibly could and two I didn't have any major regrets it was very interesting couple weeks ago I was reading this article I think it was CNBC that did it ironically talking to hospice workers and asking them what were the biggest regrets that people had uh as they were coming to the end of their life and it was that they didn't go and do the things they wanted to do and see um and that really struck me and and it brought back an old line that probably all of you have heard before life is not a dress rehearsal you only get one act in this thing called life so go do and explore and see and take on the things that you want to do uh you know go for it suck everything you can out of life that's one thing my wife always says about me I suck every ounce of time and energy out of life because it goes by fast let me tell you life goes by real fast it's kind of strange when you become a grandparent you look at yourself and say how did I become a grandfather I love being a granddad but uh it's how did this happen I don't feel that old I still feel young and all the rest but life goes by fast so grab it ride it take everything out of it you can so you know wherever you want to go see explore do it uh if you if you want uh to try to start a business go attempt it if you want that job you know aggressively pursue it or a promotion talk to your boss ask for it uh if you like somebody give it a try ask that g or girl or guy out um don't sit back grab hold of life now the second piece of it um Regrets We can't control uh some of the things that happen in life that will cause regrets but typically regrets are caused by either bad decisions or most importantly our biggest regrets are around relationships that have gone bad or hurting somebody so you know those relationships in your family your friendships important ones your colleagues treat them well always be careful and nurture uh those relationships so you don't look back and have this regret you know I wish I would have handled that different and I wish I wouldn't have hurt that relationship uh you know whoever that important person is in your life so go live life grab everything out of it and in regards to regrets try to make good decisions so you don't look back and treat the people around you with love and care so you don't look back and and and have terrible regrets all right everybody have a great day
