Learn From Others' Hindsight
Many get their priorities in order too late. I have had opportunities to be with people during the last few days of their lives. Some said, I regret I did not spend more time with my family. Or I regret I did not come to religious services more often. Never did anyone say, 'I regret I did not spend more time at the office. We can certainly take advantage of the hindsight of others. In recovery we have learned how unwise it is to favor immediate gratification over long-term consequences. If we put these two ideas together, we can live our lives in such a manner that we will have few regrets.
