„What’s the #1 regret of people on their deathbed?“

It’s not working harder. It’s not making more money. It’s not even achieving more success. The most common regret is this: Not having the courage to live a life true to themselves, instead of what others expected of them.

Think about it. How many decisions in your life have been shaped by fear of judgment? By the need for approval? By following a path that felt “safe” instead of truly fulfilling?

We get trapped in routines, in expectations, in the fear of disappointing others. And before we know it, years pass. Dreams fade. And we tell ourselves: „Maybe someday…“

But someday is a lie.

If there’s something you’ve been putting off—speaking your mind, making a bold move, pursuing what truly excites you—now is the time.

So here’s today’s challenge:

🚀 Write down one thing you’ve always wanted to do but never did.

🎯 Then ask yourself: What’s stopping me? And how can I take the first step today?

Because in the end, you won’t regret the things you tried. You’ll only regret the things you never dared to do.

Let’s make sure you don’t look back with „What if?“ but with „I’m glad I did.“

Your move.

Stay bold,
