- If you were 80 years old sitting on your deathbed looking back at your life, would you have any regrets? A week before turning 24 years old, I travel from Canada to the Philippines to figure out how you can live a life without regrets.

If you were going to die in 7 days, how would you live it?
My only child died at the age of 16 yrs…gone in an instant…I was a broken woman for many years but now I am happy with my life. You cannot control what happens to you in life, only what you do with the hand you’ve been dealt…My advice to all..forge ahead with a smile on your face.
Being a 70 yr old woman, the best thing I can say about living your life is.....be kind to all, have no judgment on others. Don't expect everyone to think the way you do. Always be kind to those standing next to you because you don't know what they are going through. Have no regrets because they can eat you like cancer. You only get one chance in life, do what makes you happy. I lost one sister and one brother recently. I am from a family of 10 kids, we had nothing but my parents worked so hard to put food on the table and clothe us. I never forget where I came from. My life is good and I am so thankful for everything. You can't take anything with you when you pass so don't think material things are important. People have no patience with the elderly and yet you will be there 0ne day, everyone gets old. Bottom line....we need more kindness and compassion in this world. What a lovely world this would be ...
Retired at 53 five months ago. Left a lot of money on the table. Mom passed away 18 months after retiring. Wife radically remitted from terminal cancer at 49. I have 5 kids from 10 to 24 in expensive California. Colleagues said I’d miss power and feeling important. Nope. Loving it. Haven’t thought about work for even a minute. Focusing now on reprogramming my brain to be in the today……to minimize living in the past of disappointment and the anxiety of the future. Not easy but when I do life is so much more enjoyable and lighter. You’re on track young man way earlier than I was. Find that sweet spot of life early.
My rolling midlife crisis was 45-49. After 3 years of therapy (once / week), quit my job, etc and never went back to the corporate thing. I'd actually saved enough by then, however people assumed I couldn't have - I was shunned by nearly everyone (all those "friends"). That hurt and took about 3 years of processing anger and (their) shame. During that time I worked intensively with disabled people and did art stuff. Long walks / museums / libraries / gardens / sleep/ don't drink. After that, things were much better. On my way to becoming an adult - there aren't that many around.
It's not just about dying but you never know when you can end up disabled or can't function the way you used to. When you die, it's not a scary thing because you're on to the next phase. If you become paralyzed or a quad, you're still here to suffer and watch the world go by. You see your loved ones grieving due to your suffering.
Just so you have a reminder, you’re already giving back to the world. I love watching your videos and listening to the life advice from people who have “been there, done that”. It really makes me think about how I’m living, and what I can do to make the wonderful life I’ve had better.
When I realised that death can come suddenly and unexpectedly I moved closer to God and thanked Him for my life, and for every day from there on.
Happy Birthday, Will. 🎉
So wise for your age. I'd wish I had your wisdom at your age. Your parents must be so proud of you
this might be one of the most important youtube channels in terms of viewing life better. if you are depressed, try to life your live like the older persons interviewed are describing it. all the self-help youtubers are not as helpful as people sharing what made them happy or unhappy at the later parts of their lives. it's simple, but it's pretty much all we need. i feel like this channel really is the best one out there.
Being a parent, death has started creeping into my thoughts. You take so many risks when young but you look into your childrens eyes and fear an earlier than usual death
I'm 23 years old, and your videos are changing my perspective on how I see the world. I'm no longer purely focused on materialistic life, and I can now also enjoy what I actually want. I've been in Germany for my master's studies for the past 8 months, and during this time, I've been to 3 different countries. It's been the major kick for me -to travel, to explore, and to get to know different people and their cultures. I've absolutely loved it. And somehow I will take care of this kind of kick to make more experiences in future just to make my life more meaningful and the way i love it to be.
If you fear death you never truly live. I lost my mum to suicide when I was 14. I don't know how, but at that age I understood the duality of life and death very clearly. I have lived a very exciting fulfilled life. I got to travel the world, live in various countries, not work my a$$ off, spend my time as my spirit sees fit at any given moment. I'm 50 now and through all my life experiences, I would say nurturing meaningful relationships, whether it be friends, lovers, family. etc and sharing/giving back in ways that perpetuates culture or community are the most important things that will bring the greatest meaning and purpose to one's life. Without those elements, all the traveling, doing fun things,"career," etc will eventually lead to emptiness. It is in the giving and sharing that we are at our fullest potential as a person.
Being a retired Pediatrician, death does not scare me at all. And, no I wouldn’t change a thing because all of my life experiences, the highs, lows, and mistakes have shaped me into the man I am today. Maybe because of my career, I give gratitude every night that I lay my head on my pillow at night. Sometimes during my day, I look up and silently say “thank you”. I’ve always been the mindset that I really don’t care what you think of me … I am what I am (maybe that’s part of being a Scorpio astrologically). If death were to come right now, I would go without any regrets 😉👍🏻
As you said, I agree that balancing the two of 'We might die today, so enjoy the moment' & 'I might live until 100, so need to save for future' is the key of life. If you tilt heavily to either side, then life can be horrible
I am so scared of retirement as I am 65 now and my biggest fear is running out of money and getting really sick because I see how many elderly people are having such a hard time

So glad I woke up to these principles earlier in life. I started thinking and adjusting my views on this life decades ago. I got rid of toxic people in my life. Put better people in my life and together we have contributed more than going it alone. We live out life doing the things we love. Family, travel, learning, giving. I realize that I have more years behind me than in front of me. So every day, I treat it like my last day or week on earth. What do I want to extract or give back this day? What trips and things do we want to do and see? Then we put them on the calendar and work towards doing them. We set dates. Be intentional and then execute on plans. When my doctor asks how I am mentally or with stress, etc. I always chuckle and say what stress? I think I live a fairy tale life really. I say Doc, if I died walking out of here, I die a happy and contended man. Knowing my wife and grown daughter are great and will suffer nothing but emotion from my passing. Their life won't change based on any finance issues. That alone brings contentment and solace. Get out there people. Go do that thing you always wanted to do.. and then do another... and so on.
Your hard work is making a difference, and you're giving back. I appreciate your content so much. Keep up the amazing work.
