You just need to take a good look at all the older people who didn't get to live the life they wanted, and it will become obvious that the causes are always the same, generation after generation:
1) They were scared of commitment. They were so "smart" that they always kept many options open. They didn't go for the person they truly wanted to be with. They didn't go all-in on anything even when they had nearly nothing to lose. They didn't quit the comfy job that didn't
2) They were living in their mind. They spent their time judging the success of others instead of training their own talents. They kept making excuses about why they couldn't do whatever they were afraid of trying. They never realized that life was short, that no one really ever
3) They never understood the importance of a healthy body. They thought they had mental struggles, but they actually had physical deficiencies. They never unlearned their bad habits because they never distanced themselves from all the people who considered these "normal." They
4) They thought they were in control of the outcome. They lived their whole lives attempting subtle manipulations here and there. They tried to influence other people’s thoughts instead of focusing on themselves and attracting who they deserved. They never experienced what it was
5) They were pessimistic. They were negative. They were self-victimizing. There is something about your vibes that the rest of the world can feel whether you can put it into words or not. No one wants to spend time with those who refuse to let go of their morose character,
6) They never learned how to unlearn. They built an identity around who they were at some point, and never let it go. Deep down, they didn't believe that they could change, and that was the main reason why they never changed. They never had the courage to move to an environment
7) They were arrogant. They thought that they knew better even though they were neither wealthy, healthy, nor happy. They never understood the value of humility. They didn't ask questions; they didn't seek to learn in depth. They coasted through life, and felt entitled to good
8) They lacked generosity. Good things happen to those who care sufficiently. They never took the extra step to ensure that their help would go through. They never reached out to their family and friends to see how they were doing. They thought, “Why should I be the one to make
9) They never understood how to take advantage of the serendipity of their environment. They didn't understand that a lot of talent was merely accumulated efforts in the right environment. They didn't understand that a lot of good luck was merely hanging out long enough in the
10) They never acted with a long-term mindset. They always assumed that they didn't need much money, or that it was too late to start investing, instead of thinking about their parents, or their potential children and grandchildren. They assumed that they might not even live in
