Hello,

My name's Ian Tucker and welcome to 10 Steps for a Better Life.

Step 9 – Follow your heart.

We live in a world that works day and night to make us just like everyone else.

To fit in.

To talk the same.

To buy the same.

To dress the same.

To eat the same.

And then we'll be okay.

Let me ask you a question.

How do societies take on how your life should be going for you?

How's it going?

For some,

It may be okay.

But what about for you?

In 2016 in New York,

Manhattan,

They carried out an experiment.

For one weekend,

They put up a massive chalkboard blackboard.

And at the top of it,

They simply wrote,

Right here,

Your biggest regrets.

And they encouraged New Yorkers or visitors over that weekend to write down what their biggest regrets were.

Over 4,

000 people wrote on that board in 48 hours.

95% started with the words,

I didn't or I haven't.

95% focused on the fact that they hadn't followed their heart.

So in this moment now,

As you watch this video,

I'm not suggesting that you take one giant leap into oblivion or the unknown.

But sit,

Understand what you truly want your life to look like,

And move in that direction.

Ten small focused steps are the same as one giant leap.

Follow your heart,

Not the crowd.

Look back and let your regret be what you didn't do.
