Reading People's Biggest Regrets In Life! (Part 2)

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen. Today we have a very interesting one, actually a part two. This is people's biggest regrets in life. So it's like older people or whatever and they're like, should have done this, should have done that. You know what a regret in life is. What am I saying? Here we go. This is a 70 year old man. He said, this might sound weird to some people but I regret saving so much money. I'm 70 years old now and have more than I need. I know I could have had some very fun experiences along the way and still saved if I was just willing to part with some of the money I made. I feel like Greg put this first because he knows. But this is something that I feel like I deal with all the time of thinking about like, obviously you want to save for your future and you know, I'm still young-ish and I have to, I want children one day and I have to get a house and those things. But I think it is important for people to remember that you know, you shouldn't fetishize money or feel like you just need to hoard it or get caught in the rat race of you always need more. You always need to, that number in your bank account has to consistently go up all the time. Of course you do need to be in that mode when you are still at a place where you have to take care of your basic needs but once you are able to save some money, I think that it's important to remember like I can start spending on vacations and dinners, experiences, whatever it is. You have to treat yourself because at the end of your life those are the only things that you have. You don't really have the money that you're about to lose of your dying. Like you can pass that on, sure, and that is important. But there is a difference between saving for the sake of saving because you're just conditioned to be like, I need to save money, I need to, and also just like wasting your life away. And it's like I'm not gonna spend that so I could save an extra, like you're supposed to, you have to let some of it go as you're building it as well. It's very important to remember that I'm not gonna keep going on that but you know. A 47 year old woman, I regret letting my insecurities in self-doubt stop me from doing things I've always wanted to do. I now realize that people were never thinking about me as much as I assume they were. - Yeah, this is like very true. Obviously easier said than done that. Everyone thinks that everyone's thinking about them. I think now, especially with social media, you think that you're like a star and everyone cares about what you're posting on your page, what's posting on your story. Are you going to the cool places? Are you wearing cool clothes? But at the end of the day, everyone's just doing this. Swipe, swipe, swipe, click, click. No one really cares that much. But again, this is easier said than done. Everyone has insecurities and everyone has self-doubt. But I think that at least in my experience, the greatest things that you want are on the other side of this kind of shit. When you are insecure about something or you have self-doubt and you do it anyway, the best things are on the other side of that. That's the only way to kind of get across because the thing that bothers me more than anything, more than failing or whatever is letting my insecurities in self-doubt win and just keep me in this chair. And then a week goes by or whatever amount of time goes by and I'm like, I'm an idiot. I could have at least attempted it. I don't know how that would have turned out but now I'm sitting here, that bothers me more than anything. So of course there's going to be insecurities and self-doubt which I deal with every day of my life. And you have to continue making steps forward towards things and feeling like I am completely unqualified for this. I'm not good enough for this. I hate the way I look while I'm doing this thing but you do it anyway. And when you're on the other side of it, you'll learn a lot about yourself, about the thing you're doing and you're just happier. At least you did something. Sitting in the chair to keep yourself comfortable and more secure, I think just makes you more insecure and have more self-doubt. You're used to taking the easy route and you're training yourself to think the way that I'm going to deal with any sort of problem is that. So how could you ever get to this road? If you're not used to dealing with self-doubt in overcoming those things, you'll never do it. I'm just used to being comfortable so I'm just going to keep doing that. And then you just, you're sitting in the chair forever. You don't want to do that. Get up, get uncomfortable, do the things that make you feel insecure and yourself doubt and all that shit. And I promise you it's going to feel a lot better. The insecurities in self-doubt will never go away. There'll just be different things that you're insecure and have self-doubt about. But you'll be trained to know that when those things come, you just got to do it anyway. But you're not going to have new things to be insecure about if you just shelter yourself. A 28-year-old man, I regret the giant tattoo of a lizard on my upper thigh with its mouth open so it looks like it's about to swallow my dick and balls. Legit, please think hard about tattoos before you get 'em. When I start a 28-year-old man, I'm like, how is there already a regret in this 28-year-old life? But yeah, that's a horrific one. Giant tattooed of lizard on my upper thigh. So it looks like it's eating my dick and balls. Funny for like a second. Definitely a temporary tattoo type of thing. The things that you find interesting and philosophical or deep or motivational, you don't find those things. You tend to not find those things as motivational or cool or whatever as time goes on. That sort of changes throughout your entire life. So I would agree that you probably should think long and hard about what you're going to put on your body. And people regret tattoos, it happens. I think, you know, unfortunately, we're getting better at removing tattoos these days. So if you need to do that, which I would assume that if I'm this gentleman, I would probably remove that lizard who's swallowing my dick and balls. I wouldn't want that on there for the rest of my life, but that's fair advice. 56-year-old man, I regret becoming a doctor. Too much training, a whole lot of debt, and leaves you no time for anything else if you want to pay off that debt and earn a lot. Maybe it works for some people, but I wish I took a different path. This is fair. I mean, I think that maybe there's other people that feel this way about becoming a doctor. I mean, I think it's one of those jobs that a lot of people feel like are, there's so much prestige in becoming a doctor. You earn a lot of money, you're very well-respected, you're very intelligent, and you're saving lives. Lives, you're saving lives, and it's an amazing position and we need these people, but I'm sure there are some people that feel like men, obviously it costs a lot of money to go to school to become a doctor. There's even more schooling for specific types of doctors. And that's a lot of debt, and you have to pay that off eventually. And if you want to feel like you're enjoying the fruits of your labor, you have to try and pay off your debt as soon as possible because you could be a doctor making $300,000, but you have $200,000 worth of debt. And it's like, well, I'm paying these bills. And then maybe there's a lot of people in life that feel this way about certain positions that they've taken. But I think it's important to remember that it's never over. And this kind of goes with the first one where you have to remember that you're not your job. You have your whole life, and if a job could have a means to an end, if you want to be a doctor or you want to work in a profession where a lawyer, where you do a lot of hours, you're working 80 hour weeks, or something crazy like that, and knowing that this is a means to an end. And I will do this to earn money. And I will sacrifice these years of my life. But there's going to become a point in time where I just kind of put an end to this. And I want to enjoy the fruits of my labor, maybe get a different job, still earn money. But I don't want to sacrifice my entire life. And I don't want to be 70 years old and be like, the only thing I did was work. That's the only thing I did. Because at the end of the day, you've got to live your life. If you're OK with making a job that maybe has less prestige than doctor, but you still want to work in that field, I'm sure there's positions that you could be in. And you would have more free time, still earn it like a good salary, and maybe have some more free time. So I mean, it's important to think about. I mean, I think it's kind of crazy to ask an 18 year old to make that decision for the rest of their life. But before we continue with this video, we do have some sponsors. The first one being Magic Spoon. Magic Spoon is the high protein zero sugar cereal. You already know and love. OK, we've promoted them before, but I love Magic Spoon. It is a great product. Like I said, they are high protein zero sugar. And they taste really good, which that is true. OK, they have a bunch of different flavors. But they have-- each serving is 12 to 14 grams of protein, 0 to 2 grams of sugar, 4 to 5 net carbs, certified gluten-free as well. So this is a good alternative because sometimes there are other cereals that are not that nutritious for you in the morning. I would suggest having some Magic Spoon. They also have Magic Spoon treats, which are very good. We always keep them in the studio. It's nice when you're like kind of on the go and you want some protein. It's 12 grams of protein, 7 grams of fiber, huge. Love that. And 0 grams of added sugar. But they're great. They have marshmallow. They have chocolate, peanut butter, double chocolate, salted caramel, really good flavors. I haven't really had a bad one. Honestly, I like them. Magic Spoon. They also have granola. Same sort of idea at 13 grams of protein, things like that. But these are great to have. They're great snacks. It's a great cereal. They're good substitutes. Where otherwise, you would have maybe something a little bit not great for you. But yeah, you can look for Magic Spoon on Amazon or at your nearest grocery store. And right now, you can get $5 off your next order at MagicSpoon.com/JoShow. OK, so that is MagicSpoon.com/JoShow. You will get $5 off of your next order. Definitely go check it out and get yourself some of that cereal. And then we have sea keek. Sea keek is the number one rated ticketing app in the App Store. This is where I buy all my tickets to any sort of show or concert or sporting event or whatever. I'm actually going to a football game in a couple of weeks and I bought the tickets on Sea keek. I like the fact that they are transparent with their pricing. So if something is a dark green ticket, it'll show you dark green. That means it's a good price. Dark red is like, this is your overpaying for this, so kind of stay away. So I like the fact that they do that. So it's great. We've been promoting them for years, never any issues. And it's amazing. And there's a lot of people that are on tour right now. Us included, if you want to go check it out. They also have over 70,000 events listed at any giving time. So there's a lot of stuff that you can go to. Get out there and enjoy yourself before the summer's over.

I regret taking for granted that my husband would be alive forever and that we would grow old together. I deeply regret the stupid shit I used to worry about because it took time away from just loving him and enjoying his company. Oh, man, that is heartbreaking to read. Obviously, this woman is grieving, but I don't even know if this is true. I mean, you know, like you deeply regret the stupid shit you used to worry about. I mean, if you really feel like the things you worried about were taking away from just loving him and enjoying his company, I mean, that's sad. But who knows if he felt that way, you know? Like, I think that any time you lose a loved one, especially a spouse like that, it's like probably just earth shattering. Like I can't even imagine. The difficult part about falling in love is that you, it then there's actually this like insane worry because a lot of people, when you fall deeply in love with someone, you get married. Like that, there's a scary thing that comes with that where it's like, I'm no longer worried about like cheating or, you know, what this person looks like when they go out, whatever it's like, oh, I'm just like worried about losing this person. Like I'm worried about this person dying. I'm worrying about this, like something bad happening to this person, I can't even imagine that. Like that's like a complete like shift. Like these things kind of feel surface level when you compare it to like, oh my God, there's a chance that I could lose this person for the rest of my life, like they could get sick or something could happen to them. And like that's just like terrifying to even think about. And I am so sympathetic towards people who have lost their partners, especially this woman's 47. So this is like a younger woman that this has happened to and just dealing with that is just like, it's terrible, dude. I can't even imagine, I don't even know, I can't even give it my son, I don't know fucking no, I don't even want to think about that to be honest. 33 year old man, I love my life, but I wish I moved that I just experienced a different region than people. Would never trade what I have, but man, I think living in the same exact place you grew up can limit you. You always have your safety nets when you stay. Yeah, this kind of goes back to the thing that I was saying before where it's good to be uncomfortable in your life. Like I think a lot of people kind of conflate comfortably with something positive. I actually don't believe that all the time. I think that too much comfort has a negative effect on someone's life. The thing that excites me about life is learning new things, seeing new things, and seeing how far I can take it. And that's not just career-wise, it's just, you know, seeing a new place. I remember the first time that I went to Europe. I was like, wow, this is stupid. And obviously it's like a dumb thought, but it's really how I felt was like, wow, the world is so big. But honestly, because I traveled the United States like in a few places, but being in a completely different place, different culture, learning about that culture, being able to say that you went and you I was uncomfortable. And I didn't speak the language, but I got by. You learn a lot about yourself. Like I am capable of doing those hard things. That's not just reserved for other people that have cooler lives than me. No, I can do that. And I can travel and I can, you know, do this thing. I think that you learn, at least for someone like me, that I think kept themselves in their comfort zone in the early, in my early ages. I can see the contrast between those two things. And it's much more damaging to keep yourself comfortable and just do the things that you normally would do. I think that not only is it courageous and it benefits you, but it just doesn't hurt you. I think that people don't understand how much they're hurting themselves by staying in their comfort zone. You're not doing anything new. You're not learning anything about the world. You're not talking to new people. You're not gaining any sort of new perspective. And I think that hurts you in the long run. It makes you less relatable. It makes you kind of like a hermit. You know the things that you know, but that's pretty much it. And it's not very interesting either. And I'm not trying to like shit on anybody because I know that I realize there are some people that deal with certain, you know, medical issues that prevent them from being able to do those things. But I don't even, I'm not even talking about like that. I'm just talking about being open-minded. And it's not always physically like you have to go to Japan. Otherwise you're fucking nobody and you're not interesting. And that's not really what I'm saying. I'm saying keeping yourself in your comfort zone and dealing with any sort of adversity in the same ways and not being brave and letting certain things go and forgiving certain people and doing this. And that like, that changes you and it helps you grow. But if you're just going to treat every problem the same way that you treated it when you were 20 years old, nothing's going to help you. You're just going to remain that person at 20 years old. You're going to believe in the same things and you're going to want to do the same things. The same thing is going to make you comfortable. And that's just not, in my opinion, what life's about. I think that you are supposed to grow. You are supposed to change. And the things that are important to you change too. And the only way those things can change is by gaining new perspective. But if you're preventing yourself from gaining that, I don't know how much you're getting out of this thing. I think there's much more to get from life. 29-year-old woman. I regret letting my parents have such a say in my life. You grow up and realize everyone is still figuring things out. Yeah, this is like a really big one. My parents were never overbearing. They gave us room to kind of be ourselves and be creative and figure out what make mistakes and do things like that. I don't know if they did it on purpose, so they're just bad parents. No. No, but I've talked to my parents before, but they treat it in that way. That it's important to let your children be your children. You can't control everything that they do. Even if you think they're making a mistake, it's a new person. You have to let them at a certain age, obviously. Yeah, you grow up and you realize that your parents are just people. And sometimes you outgrow your parents. Sometimes you're better than your parents in certain aspects. And I don't know what age that is. And I don't know when that happens. Sometimes it happens at a younger age for other people. But sometimes your parents, they've never traveled anywhere. They're not up to date on this and that. They watch the same TV shows. It's like they're disconnected from the world. The world moves on. The world keeps growing. Things keep changing and they won't adapt. So they get left behind. And once you surpass your parents, I think that looking back, if you're so conditioned to be like, this is the end all, be all in my life, I have to trust everything they say. I can hurt you because of the situation that I just explained. I think it's OK to realize that your parents are just people. And they did the best they could. And they're doing the best they could. And it just is what it is. And you don't need to live by their rules, by a certain age, with certain things. You don't have to be completely reliant on them. You're your own person. You can take what they say into account. But you're not just going to listen to them blindly at 30 years old, because that's what you did when you were seven. You know what I mean? This goes back to what I was saying before. Things change. Priorities change. Your mentors in life, those things change. Your parents can't make all the decisions for you forever. You can't be reliant, maybe on anybody. Maybe that's a good rule. 46-year-old woman. I regret saying no to plans when I was younger, because I thought I was tired. Then you get older and have kids and realize what tired really is. And the opportunity to socialize and make lasting memories with friends aren't as easy to come by. That is great advice. And also something that I think I need to hear at times. I recently did this where I didn't want to go to something because I was thinking about like, oh my God, getting there and leaving is going to be so difficult. And at the last minute, I bought tickets and we went. And I remember being-- it was the NOAA concert. And the fact that I was even debating that is outrageous, because it was my favorite concert I ever been to. But I go to the concert, and I remember having this moment in the middle of the concert and being like, I was so tired yesterday thinking about doing this. And now I'm here, and I'm having a great time. I have a ton of energy. And you'll always find the energy for those things. I think it's important to put yourself, again, through uncomfortable situations, especially for things like that. Dude, all we're going to have is the memories. All we're going to have is the memories. I don't think that you can have too many of those. I think that it pays to push yourself for memories and opportunities to socialize within reason, obviously. It's not getting extreme here. But it's important to do that. I think that if you let your personal relationships slide for whatever reason, that's fine for a select time period. But it is important. I think it is important to have friends, to socialize, to go out, to put yourself out there, try to make new friends, or just try to have conversations with people and do fun things. What I think happens, which I'm sympathetic to, is people work really hard. And then they're like, I'm just too tired to socialize, because I've been working so hard. But I do think that it pays, that if you have a little bit of that extra energy, use it to socialize, because this working, if you're too tired to have fun and you're just working, years are going to pass. And you're going to be like, what the hell did I do that whole time? And I think that's where you end up here, where it's like, I wish I didn't say I was tired all the time, because you're just going to get more tired. You're going to have more responsibilities. You're going to have children. You're going to have a house. You're going to have this and that. Now is the time. Say yes to things. Go the extra mile, even if you're tired. Go find the energy. Bro, go for an hour. And just be like, all right, I'm exhausted. I gotta go home. Even that I think is good. People say that about the gym. Even if you don't want to go, go have a bad workout and go home. I've done that. I've gone to the gym, done two workouts, and be like, fuck this. But I went. I think this is great advice for people. I think someone watching this video should probably hear that too. It's worth it, I believe, to make sure that you are socializing. You don't have to say yes to every single thing, obviously. But it's important to keep up with your relationships and to just talk to people, all right? That's all I got for this video. I don't even remember the hell I said, honestly. I think I was just rambling there completely blacked out. But thank you guys so much for watching. And don't forget to subscribe. We'll see you next time.
