If I Knew Then,
“I’m 78… I Wasted 52 Years Believing This Lie” (Part-2)
"I'm Robert Chen. I'm 78 years old. In Part 1, I told you about the 52 years I wasted believing society's lies. Now I'm going to share the truth that set me free and why my homeless teacher Marcus chose poverty over comfort.
This is the most important video I'll ever make.In this video you'll discover the top 5 regrets of dying people from hospice research, the 3 sentences that destroyed 52 years of lies, why Marcus chose to be homeless despite having everything, how I finally started living at age 76, what you can do today to avoid my mistakes, and Marcus's death and his final gift to me.
The top 5 regrets of dying people are: Number 5, I wish I had let myself be happier. Number 4, I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. Number 3, I wish I had the courage to express my feelings. Number 2, I wish I hadn't worked so hard. And number 1, I wish I'd had the courage to live my life, not the life others expected of me.Notice: Not one person said I wish I worked more or I wish I had more money.
The 3 sentences that changed my life:
Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is not practice. This is it.
Marcus wasn't homeless because he lost everything. He chose it. He was a successful lawyer with a big house and expensive cars. Then his best friend died at 45. At the funeral, Marcus realized his friend died before ever truly living. So Marcus quit everything, sold everything, and spent his last 15 years completely free. His daughter begged him to live with her. She had money and space. But Marcus always refused. In a letter to his daughter, Marcus wrote:"I know my life looks like failure to most people. But I've never been happier. I've never been more free. I've never been more myself."
Marcus died 2 weeks before I returned to thank him. Heart attack. Quick and painless. Free until the end. At his funeral, his daughter gave me his journal. He had written about me: Robert is finally waking up.
How I finally started living: I sold my big empty house. I bought a ticket to Italy and saw the places Sarah and I dreamed about. I cried in Rome thinking of her, but smiled knowing she'd want me to go. I learned guitar at 76. I wrote long letters to my kids explaining everything. I volunteered reading to children at schools. I made real friends. I felt truly alive for the first time.
What you can do today: Stop living like you have forever. Stop sacrificing your present for a future that might never come. Stop trading your life for money and stuff you don't really want. Stop waiting for permission to be happy. Start living now. Take that trip you keep putting off. Learn that skill you've always wanted. Call that friend you miss. Hug your family longer. Work less and live more.
The Die With Zero principle: Your goal is not to die with the most money. Your goal is to die with the best memories and the fewest regrets.
My morning question: Every morning I ask myself, if I died tonight, would I be happy with how I lived today? Most days now, the answer is yes.
I'm 78 years old. I don't know how much time I have left. But I know this: I will not waste another day. Marcus is gone, but his wisdom lives through me. And now through you. What are you going to do with your time? You're watching this video right now. That means you're alive. You still have time. But time is the one thing you can never get back. So will you live? Or will you keep waiting?"
