Picture
No statistics tell us what percentage of adults would choose to live an unlived life. But stats do suggest how many that might be:
  • A study conducted for the UK non-profit "Remember a Charity" found that 40% wished they had done everything in their lives differently.
  • A January 2024 Gallup poll found that only 47% of U.S. adults reported being "very satisfied" with their personal lives, one point shy of the record low.
Some of the reasons for choosing an alternative life include:
  • Inaction/missed opportunities: More people regret what they didn't do than mistakes they've made in the past.
  • Making poor social and relationship choices: Picking the wrong friends, staying too long in dead-end relationships, and jobs.
  • Not living authentically: Living as you think others expect you to live rather than how you want to live. 
Speculative question for today

Given the choice, would you choose to live your life differently?
