Here Are The Top Deathbed Regrets. Make Sure You Avoid Making The Same Mistakes.

You’re going to die someday. Sorry if that sounded like a threat, but it’s really just a fact. One day, it will all come to an end. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a moment to reflect on your lifetime. If you’re even luckier, that moment will not be filled with thoughts of what you should or should not have done, but how happy you are with your decisions. While there’s no way to tell which choices you’ll rue when your days on earth are about to be over, perhaps these common deathbed regrets can help steer you towards a happy ending. Take a look (you won’t regret it)!

1.) Not Saying “I Love You” Before Someone Dies – Three simple words, one comforting thing to take solace in.

2.) Not Having More Self Confidence – Get confident, stupid.

3.) Not Being True To Oneself – Do you!

4.) Worrying Too Much About How Others See You – Unless you’re an optometrist, relax.

5.) Being Controlled By Fear – “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” – F.D.R., right before he jumped the Grand Canyon on roller blades

6.) Thinking Too Much – Often times, over-thinking makes a situation worse than it would be if you didn’t think at all.

7.) Not Planning Ahead – “Ugh, I knew I should have ordered that pizza like ten minutes earlier. Goodbye, world!”

8.) Not Taking More Risks – Go for it!

9.) Not Traveling More – Seeing the world opens your eyes to more than just interesting new foods.

10.) Not Ending A Bad Relationship Sooner – Don’t waste time being with someone you don’t want to be with.

11.) Letting “The One” Get Away – If you love somebody, let them go spend the rest of their life with you.

12.) Waiting For The “Right Time” To Have Kids – There’s no such thing!

13.) Not Standing Up For Oneself – Don’t be afraid to look out for #1.

14.) Not Letting Oneself Be Happier – C’mon, get happy.

15.) Not Wearing Sunscreen – Think of it as putting on “regretblock.”

16.) Not Seeing A Project All The Way Through – Content deathbed thoughts are for closers.

17.) Working Too Much – Working hard or hardly enjoying your life?

18.) Losing Track Of Friends – After all, you did say “best friends forever.”

Wow. I don’t know about you, but I really need to step my living game up. Share this post and inspire your friends to live a regret-free life too.

This Brave Little Guy Has A Touching Message We All Need To Hear

If you saw little Grant with his brother, Manny, you might assume that they’re twins at first glance — but Grant’s actually a few years older.

Grant was born with diastrophic dysplasia, a rare form of dwarfism that affects his cartilage and bone development and makes him much smaller than he should be for his age. Life is harder to navigate for Grant, but this sweet kid always has a positive attitude.

When he was six years old, he decided to offer some words of wisdom to show people that we can all overcome life’s difficulties no matter how hard things get.

He’s the hero and cheerleader that we all need.

Isn’t this cutie inspiring? You can keep up with him on Facebook, and be sure to share his powerful message with all your friends who need something to smile about.

Nice going! Guess which network misspelled the name of its own host [pic]

Uh, that’s “Kornacki,” guys. He hosts a weekend show — on your network.

Lean ___! (fill in the blank) RT @CalebHowe: MSNBC has their own host's name spelled wrong right now. http://t.co/3KVfe53pUK— johnny dollar (@johnnydollar01) January 09, 2014

Consummate professionals over there.

And to think: With MSNBC’s ratings being what they are, if Caleb hadn’t tweeted out the screen grab, no one may have ever noticed!

1. Sometimes people do the darndest things. Like, say, try to smuggle 92 pounds of marijuana through the airport security line.

2. Thankfully, the TSA has an informative/hilarious Instagram page that captures some of the best things recovered in security searches.

3. Their Insta chronicles typical confiscated items, like handguns.

4. To the truly bizarre.

5. Oh sure, take your bag of eels across state lines.

6. Or your pantyhose filled with tiny snakes.

7. There are tons of weapons confiscated, like this smoke grenade.

8. A MORTAR ROUND.

9. A gaggle of knives.

12. Another hand grenade.

13. So many hand grenades.

14. Some people use ~creative~ means of trying to smuggle weapons through — like stuffed animals.

15. This knife was found stuffed into the sole of a shoe.

16. This inert grenade was stuffed inside a stuffed animal penguin.

17. And these knife blades were found taped into a Scooby Doo greeting card.

18. Important rule: You may check your sword in your luggage but you can’t put it in your carry-on.

19. The account also features the cute doggies of the TSA K9 unit. THIS IS ROKO.

20. And here is Hilbert. HILBERT!

21. So remember: Have a great trip and leave your C4 explosive at home.
