I've had the curse/blessing of having a few close calls at a rather young age, and I'd like to add to this a bit:
>Don't ignore your dreams, but also critically examine your dreams to ensure they're healthy and would actually bring you happiness
My "dreams" in life drastically changed after almost dying a couple times. They went from all revolving around being the smartest, richest, most successful person possible, to being the happiest, kindest, most supportive person possible. (I know, I know, terribly cliché. But so true.)
If you have unhealthy dreams, the rest of the items on that list become practically impossible to achieve. So make sure to stop and examine them critically from time to time.
