About This Quote

Most people’s greatest regret is not living the life they knew they could live. People regret a lot of things in life, but the biggest one is probably not being able to live their dreams. This quote sounds good on the surface, but there are a few things that it doesn’t quite explain. For one thing, why should we regret not “living the life we knew we could live”? In other words, if we didn’t know that we could have lived a certain way, then what did we actually know? Most people don’t live their dreams because they don’t try. They allow fear and doubt to keep them from the life they could have had.
