Most People Regret Not Trying. Don’t Be One of Them | Entrepreneur Chronicles #11

Most people will live their entire lives on autopilot—waking up one day wondering where the years went. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

We only have one life. Our time on this planet is limited.

I’m tired of seeing people unhappy, pessimistic about their lives, hating their jobs, living for the weekends, feeling stuck—like they have no choices—just going through the motions as if life is happening to them.

It should not be the norm.

We should do everything in our power to make that time meaningful and, at the very least, feel good for the majority of it.

Many people see others living their dream lives and think:

“I wish I could have that.”

“They’re so lucky—I wish it could be me.”

Do you ever have those thoughts?

What if I told you that you could have your dream life too?

Living a dream life doesn’t (always) require vast amounts of money. It’s actually about getting clear on what that life looks like, making intentional choices, and taking action.

This idea has been in the back of my mind for a long time. So I’m taking my own advice and finally taking action. Let’s go! 🚀

I recently shared my story here. If you want the full context, I encourage you to read it first—then this post will make a lot more sense.

The first 30 years of my life were great, but I was living on autopilot. I was fairly happy, but I wasn’t truly fulfilled. The thing is, you don’t always realize what you’re missing when you don’t even know it exists.

You don’t know what you don’t know.

Back then, I wasn’t questioning much about my life. I was following the path society laid out for me—trying to be a good citizen.

Then, in 2017, I had a huge wake-up call. I lost my baby boy. My life was turned upside down.

Suddenly, I became deeply aware of how precious life is. That realization led me down a path of self-discovery.

I started questioning how I was living.

I read. I watched. I studied. I explored the why behind my choices and how society shapes our beliefs.

It was a real awakening for me.

I felt like I had unplugged from The Matrix and was finally seeing life through a new lens.

Since then, I’ve been living a life I never even dreamed of. A life I didn’t think was possible for me.

And here’s the thing—I’m just a regular guy.

I don’t have special abilities. I don’t come from wealth. If anything, the odds were against me in some ways. But I still made it happen.

Today, I want to help others. Maybe you.

I can’t force people to change. I can’t make anyone wake up.

You have to decide for yourself—do you want to take the red pill or the blue pill?

I want to help people who are already aware that there’s another way to live.

Maybe you don’t know exactly what you want yet, but you have this feeling—this itch—that your life could be different.

Using my personal experience and everything I’ve learned over the past eight years, I’ve created a map to guide you to “the other side.”

It’s a 4-step process—the four milestones I went through to get where I am today:

Step 1: Awareness— Recognizing that life is short and should be lived intentionally.

Most people operate on autopilot, following societal expectations without ever questioning them. This step is about uncovering what truly matters and challenging the belief that happiness should be put off until “later.”

Step 2: Awakening— Breaking free from conditioning and rediscovering your true self.

This step involves unlearning limiting beliefs, questioning outdated ideas of success, and expanding your perspective. It’s about peeling back the layers to reveal who you really are.

Step 3: Dreaming— Designing a life that excites you.

Now that you know life can be lived differently, it’s time to define what you truly want—beyond external expectations. This step is about envisioning your ideal life, planning the transition, and challenging the fears holding you back.

Step 4: Living— Turning your vision into reality.

Execution is where most people struggle. This step is about following through—making the necessary changes to your environment, staying resilient, and remembering your why. It’s about actively living the life you designed, not just dreaming about it.

This idea has been in my head for years. But I never took action because I didn’t believe I had what it takes to help others.

After a lot of personal introspection and conversations, I finally realized that I do have the most important ingredient:

Lived experience.

I know what it feels like to live life based on what others expect of you. I know what it feels like to put off happiness, to believe “I can’t do that—it’s not for people like me.”

But if I was able to do it, so can you.

Unlike me, you won’t have to go through a tragedy to wake up. You won’t have to spend years lost, searching for answers, moving across the world just to find yourself.

You won’t have to read an entire library and spend hours on YouTube to realize you can live on your terms.

I’ve already done the work.

That’s why I created this framework—to help guide you through the process more smoothly and intentionally.

You don’t have to wait for a crisis to wake up. You don’t have to keep waiting for ‘one day.’ The moment to start designing your life is now.

We all deserve to be happy.

We all deserve to have what we want.

We all deserve to be excited about Mondays.

We all deserve to feel valued, seen, and loved.

You do.
