I'm 73... It Took Me 52 Years To Learn This Simply Truth (Don't Waste Yours)

My name is David. I'm 73 years old, and I just figured out something that I should've learned when I was 21. It took me 52 years to see it—52 years of making the same mistake over and over again. The biggest mistake you can make isn't failing. It's waiting. Waiting for the right time. Waiting to be ready. Waiting for things to be perfect. I waited my whole life. I waited to be happy until I got the promotion. Then the house. Then retirement. I kept moving the finish line, thinking "Once I get there, THEN I'll start living." But here's what I learned too late: There is no "there." There's only here. There's only now. In this video, I share the one lesson it took me 52 years to learn—and I hope it doesn't take you that long. If you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or beyond, this could save you decades of regret. 🕐 It's not too late yet to understand what really matters. 💬 What hit you the hardest in this video?
