610: A Letter to My Kids (My Biggest Regrets)

Feelings of regret can be one of life's heaviest burdens. I'm sure most people have choices and decisions that they've regretted in their lives, and I'm no different. But what I've learned is that regret doesn't have to be a source of suffering; it can be one of our greatest teachers if we let it.

In today's episode, I thought I'd share a very personal letter that I recently wrote to my kids about the biggest regrets of my life. Things like all the precious moments that I've missed that I'll never get back, and moving away from loved ones I wish I'd stayed close to. These are the lessons that taught me that family and loved ones should always come first, no matter what.

Ultimately, this episode is about learning to release the weight of regret and transform it into wisdom. We can't change the past, but we can use it to shape a more intentional, love-centered future. My hope is that you'll reflect on your own life, forgive yourself for what you can't undo, learn from it, and make different choices moving forward. This way, when you look back on your life, you won't be reliving the past; you'll look back fondly on what matters most.

P.S. My newest book, The Miracle Morning After 50: A Proven Path to Joy, Vitality, and Purpose for Aging Adults, co-authored with Dwayne J. Clark, is now available for pre-order at MiracleMorningafter50.com. If you're over 50—or have a loved one who is—this book will help to live with purpose and joy in the second half of life.
