I totally agree.
If I can go back in time, I would lead much more modest life and try to earn and save as much as possible in order to secure my future and preferably retire much younger than the legal age here which is 67 years old. Since I spent way too much money in my youth, my next chance for an early retirement is bitcoin.
Opportunities like this don’t represent itself twice after you’ve missed the first one. If it is too late for you to adjust somethings in your life that would have helped you live a better life now, you can use that energy to groom someone, maybe your child to help live a better life financially than you had. Bitcoin has no age exception and can be taught from a young age for the youngsters too. If you can use that opportunity now, it would be better instead of regretting the past and not doing anything to correct the past or paving way to make the remaining time in your life worthwhile of living now.
I agree, the only thing we can do is to use our previous mistakes as a motivation to move forward and learn new things to improve our lives. People who have achieved a better life have probably experienced many failures before reaching the top. Let their success be an inspiration for us to become a better version of ourselves tomorrow.
