I want to talk to you about the most essential part of your life. It is your dream or your purpose for being here on earth. Especially when you are young, you take it for granted, put it off till tomorrow, and say you are still young and have time. Please don’t put it off another day. Please do it now. Your future self will thank you.

I was really into martial arts when I was young. I wanted to be a professional fighter, but I kept telling myself first that I would get rich first. The years passed, and I was chasing money; the dreams were on the back burner. Before I knew it, it was too late, and all I had were regrets and a lot of weight I had gained.

I was hard-headed and wouldn’t listen to the few good people who gave me good advice. I blame myself; I was young and naive. Life happens fast, and in sports, you have a time limit. I missed my boat. It affects my health, relationships, and overall satisfaction with life.

There is no time for being lazy and no excuse for giving your best every day. Sure, I still go to the gym. Sometimes, I work out, but after feeling good after working out, the pain sets in, and I realize it is too late for me and I can never be a world champion.

Don’t let your friends or even your parents stop you. It is your life, and you can decide how to live it. You answer to you at the end of the day, and your family can give great support, not great advice. Don’t say, You are not this or you’re not that. Because in 10 years, you can only have regret, the worst pain of them all.

There is no greater feeling than asking yourself in old age, what if or why did I not pursue my passions and go after that degree or job? It’s horrible; no amount of money or possessions, friends, or relationships ever feels as good as waking up every day and doing something you love and can support yourself with. There is no worse feeling than waking up every day with regrets.

If I had another chance, I would go 100 percent on doing what I love, chasing it with everything I have, and not letting anything or anybody stop me. There is nothing else that really will make you happy in life.
