Ignoring your dreams and wishes
There is no other meaning in life than being immersed in the work you love. A childhood hobby like music, dance, art, a business idea that you want to get a new identity for yourself, an adventure that you have always wanted to do, etc. If you are living in survival mode for something, ignoring all the things that satisfy your soul, at the last stage of life, if you think why you are living such an unsatisfied life, then to correct that mistake. The remaining lifetime is not enough. So know your likes, dreams and ambitions now and happily run after them. Even if you don't get good at it..the satisfaction of trying will remain.

Following Others' Paths and Finding Success
Have you ever stepped into a pair of shoes that are not your size and found that they don't fit you? They are not useless sandals just because they are tight or loose and uncomfortable for you. They work for other people. Success is the same. If you run on the same path that other people have achieved something, you will not be able to reach it for some years. Success belongs to those who own it. This small thing is not recognized by the youth today. With self-pity that others have become doctors and actors, without giving time to know what their dreams are, they are running in the attitude that we should do it because others have done it. So, first know what your goals are and make a path for them.
No life other than work
If your passion and profession are the same, there is no problem, but if you work hard all your life just for earning, you will finally feel like yourself. A purpose is lost. You should have small pleasures for yourself instead of living in the same world as office and home. Getting the whole family together to share memories, working on your hobbies, completing that long-delayed adventure trip are all small things, but you'll regret it all the time if you don't take them into account.
Not taking risks
Living in the comfort zone is like a frog living in a well without knowing anything about the outside world! Even if the well is good, the fact that there is more to life keeps you away. Taking risks sometimes opens up new avenues in life. They teach many lessons. Fear of failure is natural. But there are no regrets for failing at the last stage. If you don't try, you will regret it.
