00:00Here's something you'll regret ignoring in 10 years. Your vision will get narrower. You're

00:05going to start losing things that you value most if you don't use them. Connections, skills, health,

00:10goals, dreams. You are not meant to be coasting in your 20s and 30s. Those are the decades where

00:16you build. Because every decision compounds. Time, money, habits, they all grow roots.

00:22The problem is we can't see the roots under the surface. We plant them now and only look back

00:28later to realize how deep they've grown. But here's the good news. You can sever those roots

00:32today. Because every decision also branches out. So go ahead and skip that party tonight.

00:38Build that project, learn the skill, develop the habit. It won't feel urgent. But trust me,

00:44when you forget, it becomes so much harder to fix. Because time is not ticking, it's sprinting. And

00:50you are going to regret not taking this seriously enough. Future You is watching right now. He's

00:55tired, defeated, older. He's looking back at you and he's begging you to take this more

01:00seriously. Why? Because life doesn't wait for you to catch up. It keeps moving forward. And

01:05when you stop paying attention, that's when life leaves you behind. The people who used

01:10to call you, they stop calling. The friends you used to hang out with, they move on. The

01:15girl you used to date, she finds someone else. Not because life hates you, but because life

01:20doesn't care about you. Life moves forward. And when you wake up one morning feeling like

01:25you're behind, well, you are. Because the clock isn't ticking, it's sprinting and you

01:30wasted your prime. Now you're wondering when it starts. When I can begin trying. When

01:35will my turn come? But your turn never comes. You have to take it. That's the scary part

01:40about being young. You think you have forever. You really don't. If you haven't noticed by

01:44now, life is fleeting. Days turn into weeks. Weeks into months. Months into years. And

01:51before you know it, you're in your 40s and 50s and still no closer to achieving any of

01:56your goals. Because you waited around for the perfect time that never came. In 10 years,

02:01you'll either be glad you took this advice or you'll regret it. One path will lead you

02:05to fulfillment and the other will lead you to resentment. The decision is yours. Your 20s

02:11are the easiest time to put things in motion because you have two things in your favor.

02:15Time and energy. You're young. You're healthy. You're full of vigor. You can do things that

02:21others can't. You can work insanely hard without burning out. You can push through pain and recover

02:26quickly. You can eat whatever you want and not gain weight. You can stay up till 3am working

02:31on your goals without feeling the consequences the next day. You can embrace discomfort, learn

02:37new skills, challenge yourself physically and mentally. You can tolerate a lot more than you

02:42think you can. But the biggest advantage is that you have time. You can afford to take risks because

02:47you don't have responsibilities holding you down. So don't waste this gift. Use it. Go all in. You'll

02:53regret ignoring this in 10 years. In 10 years, you're going to wish you started today. Here's what you

02:59should be doing now. Number 1. Cut off the distractions. What are you doing on Instagram? Nothing

03:04productive. There you go again. Doom scrolling. Chasing that dopamine hit. Wasting your valuable

03:10time on things that don't matter. When you look back, you'll regret this moment. It doesn't feel

03:16like it now. But in 10 years, you'll look back and wish you spent it differently. But if you cut it off

03:21now, if you delete social media, if you break your phone, if you uninstall the apps, if you tell your

03:27friends you don't want to hang out, then you can focus on what matters. If you quit drinking, if you quit

03:32smoking, if you quit going to parties, then you can allocate your time and energy to what you want.

03:38That's why some people accomplish extraordinary things while others don't. It's not because

03:42they're smarter or more talented. It's because they sacrifice today for the sake of tomorrow.

03:47They say no to immediate gratification in hopes of a better future.

03:52Number 2. Build a financial fortress. Money is freedom. Listen to that again. Money is freedom.

03:57Imagine waking up without a single worry in the world. Imagine having enough money to support

04:03yourself without working a job you hate. That's the power of money. The ability to say no to things

04:08you don't want to do. If you don't have money, you are financially enslaved. If you have money,

04:14you have options. You have choices. You can pursue your passions because you have a safety net.

04:19If you fail, you can try again. But if you don't have any money, then you are forced to play it safe.

04:24You are forced to pick a job just for the paycheck. Imagine having enough money to retire early.

04:30You could spend time traveling, spending time with family, starting a business, pursuing your

04:35passions. Money is the key to freedom. It's the key to opportunities. It's the key to saying yes to

04:41the things that matter. So start investing now. Start saving now. Make it a priority.

04:47Number 3. Take care of your body. You are your greatest asset. The only way to get rich is by

04:52taking care of yourself. Too many people neglect their bodies and only realize it when it's too

04:57late. You'll regret ignoring this in 10 years. Do it now. Exercise regularly. Eat clean. Sleep well.

05:05Challenge yourself physically. Take care of your body because it's the only one you got.

05:09When you're young, you think you're invincible. But injuries and illnesses don't care how young you

05:14are. They strike when you least expect it. And when you neglect your body, it will betray you when

05:19you need it the most. That's why the strongest person is not the one who never loses, but the

05:25one who gets back up every time they lose. That's why you must train your mind and condition your body

05:30because both will betray you at some point. But if you prepare in advance, you can bounce back.

05:36Bounce back from injuries. Bounce back from illnesses. Bounce back from failures. Take care of your body now

05:42so you don't regret it in the future. Number 4. Learn new skills. If you aren't growing,

05:47you are dying. The key to success is to keep learning. The faster you learn, the faster you

05:53grow. That's how you outperform the competition. That's how you get ahead. Because if you're not

05:58learning, then you're not evolving. You're staying the same. And in a world that's constantly changing,

06:04that means you're falling behind. The reason you're not where you want to be is because you

06:08stopped learning. Learn new skills. Invest in yourself. Become a master of your craft. Become a leader in

06:14your industry. Because if you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're

06:18getting. But if you want something different, if you want to be successful, then you must invest in

06:23yourself. Number 5. Don't wait for inspiration. Inspiration is overrated. Just do it. The hardest

06:30thing is getting started. Once you've done it for long enough, it becomes second nature. Everything you

06:35want to achieve is on the other side of the starting line. Everything you desire is waiting for you to

06:40start. Stop thinking, start doing. Stop planning, start working. Stop dreaming, start hustling. Stop

06:47hoping, start grinding. Because every minute you waste is another minute you'll regret. So just do it.

06:54Do it now. Don't wait for the perfect timing because it doesn't exist. The time is always going to be

06:59wrong. The conditions will never be perfect. You'll never feel ready enough. So just do it. Do it

07:05scared. Do it with what you have. Do it now. Stop procrastinating. Stop delaying. You'll regret

07:11ignoring this in 10 years. It's a trap. You fall for it all the time. You promise yourself you'll

07:17start working out tomorrow. You'll study tomorrow. You'll start that business someday. You'll live your

07:22best life someday. But someday never comes. Or when it does, it's too late. You procrastinate. You delay.

07:29You put it off until it's too late. And then you wonder where did the time go? How did I get here?

07:33Because you fell for the someday trap. You promise yourself that you'll do it someday.

07:38But you never do. And then you end up resenting yourself. And then you ask yourself,

07:42why do I even bother? But here's the secret. It's not about finding motivation. It's about

07:48building discipline. It's about building momentum. It's about showing up every day,

07:52even if you don't feel like it. It's about sticking to your plan, even when you're tempted to quit.

07:57It's about making progress, no matter how small. Because progress is progress.

08:02Now you'll regret ignoring this in 10 years.
