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 allow them to grow. They didn't fly to the place they truly wanted to be. They never took any real jump.
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 cared, that they would miss out on life not because of their lack of intelligence or talent, but because of their lack of courage.
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 took it personally and got offended if anyone suggested any lifestyle change. They never experienced life in a clear-minded and high-energy version of themselves, and somehow started to believe that it was normal to feel sluggish, moody, gloomy once in a while.
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 peopleβs thoughts instead of focusing on themselves and attracting who they deserved. They never experienced what it was like to attract life-changing opportunities from good seeds that they sowed many years ago by simply being consistent with their authentic self.
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, because deep down, everybody knows that these people attract bad luck.
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 that would allow them to forget who they were. They never realized that theyβd never even gotten on the starting line when it comes to becoming who they could be.
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 things happening to them, just because they existed.
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, βWhy should I be the one to make the effort? Iβm busy, and they arenβt reaching out to me either,β and never understood that it was actually a blessing to have people you care about.
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 right environment. They didn't understand that a lot of loving relationships were merely nurturing an authentic and consistent version of themselves throughout the decades in an environment that would appreciate it.
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 the same neighborhood in a few years. They assumed that there were plenty of fish in the sea. They assumed that they could always make new friends anytime, instead of fostering and compounding deeper connections with people they knew. The Internet gave them the illusion that they were always a few clicks away from a life-changing encounter with better people, but they slowly realized that the older they got, the less true it became.
They assumed that it was too late to start a new hobby, a new project, a new life, instead of investing in themselves as if they were to live forever. They never understood how the best life that they could live would always involve a playful version of themselves who had mastered the right amount of detachment, and who had learned how to enjoy the process, the craft, the simple and foolish moments in life.
