The Most Important Choice of Your Life read time 3 minutes In a few short weeks, my first book, The 5 Types of Wealth, will be delivered around the world. Yesterday, I turned 34, and found myself reflecting on an idea from the book: The leap of faith. Today, I want to share a first look at a related excerpt from the conclusion: In Christopher Nolan's 2010 science-fiction thriller Inception, there is a scene in which the protagonist, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is faced with the life-and-death decision of whether to trust a new potential benefactor and seize the challenge presented to him. It is a challenge with the highest possible stakes: the opportunity to return home to his children, whom he hasn't seen in years. The benefactor, played by Ken Watanabe, seems to sense his counterpart's call to adventure and poses a single, powerful question: "Do you want to take a leap of faith? Or become an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone?" My life—my entire story—is the result of a leap of faith. I am living my dream life because I embraced a better way—I measured the right things, I took the right actions, and I created the right outcomes. I embraced the concepts in The 5 Types of Wealth. I'm sure I gave up money by leaving the track I was on, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm the wealthiest man on the face of the earth. Now it's time for you to do the same. Your journey through life is filled with laters: - I'll spend more time with my kids later
- I'll be more present for my partner and friends later
- I'll find time for my health later
- I'll have more freedom later
The brutal reality: Later is just another word for never. Most of the things you say you'll do later won't be possible by the time you claim you'll do them. Your kids won't be five years old later. Your partner and friends won't be there for you later if you aren't there for them now. Your health won't be there later. Your life won't suddenly be built for freedom and enjoyment later. The choice is yours: Either take the leap of faith and start designing it into your life now, or live with regret later. It is the most important choice of your life. That's what this book is all about: Your guide to take that leap of faith. To reject the defaults and live your life by design. You're going to get immense value from this book. Apple CEO Tim Cook called it "a guide for how to build a life of meaning and purpose." Bestselling author and podcaster Mel Robbins added that it "will stay with you long after you've turned the last page."
