Hi Alvin, RISE is a helpful framework that intuitively made sense as I read how you described it and suggested readers apply it. I've realized I'm in the Frank Sinatra "My Way" school of not paying attention to regrets for my many failures and missed opportunities, nevertheless having read your article I'm going to set time aside to apply the RISE framework as you suggest and see what happens. Thank you!
That's awesome, Chris. Let me know how it goes. And thanks for reading!
What compelled me to write this was all the talk I see around the internet about regrets and how to avoid them. But all the advice I ever see involves forecasting what we *might* regret in the future, which is always a recipe for failure because "no man ever steps in the same river twice..." i.e., what we regret today, isn't necessarily what we'll regret tomorrow.
I wanted to find a way to avoid regrets without future predictions. Long story short, that gave way to RISE.
great framework!
You're also not trapping yourself with "Past You's"preferences
Great point! A bucket list may contain items that are no longer meaningful to us in the present.
"But if all bucket lists are inherently endless. Then, that means regret is inevitable."
Spoken like a software Buddah. Great message on RISE.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
