Скачать или смотреть I’m 85... I Wish I Had Let Myself Be Happier

I lived a "perfect" life on paper. I had the job, the house, the money. But at 85, I realized I had built myself a comfortable coffin.

My name is George. For many years I did everything I was supposed to do. I chased security, I pleased my bosses, and I saved every penny. I thought I was winning the game of life. But now, looking back from the finish line, I realize I was playing the wrong game entirely.

This video is not just a story, it is a warning. It is a brutal look at the cost of trading your time for money, and your passion for security.

The Final Lesson:

"I wish that I had let myself be happier."

This is a surprisingly common regret. Many do not realize until the end that happiness is a choice. They stay stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflows into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change makes them pretend to others, and to themselves, that they are content. When deep down, they long to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.

When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you die.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.
