“Imagine yourself lying on your deathbed, surrounded by ghosts representing your unfulfilled potential.” The ideas you never acted on and the talents you never used—they’re upset and angry. “We came to you because you could have brought us to life.”

The realization hits hard about the opportunities you let slip away because you were too afraid to face failure and act on it. Now all these ideas will go to your grave with you forever. Les Brown’s analogy is a reminder for everyone to utilize their full potential before it’s too late.

This is a clear message that shows our time is limited, and we shouldn’t waste it. Instead, we should make the most of it by reaching for our goals and trying until we can. Lastly, the Titan asked everyone the question, “I ask you today how many ghosts are going to be around your bed when your time comes.”

This question urges us to think about the life we’re living and the mark we’re going to leave behind. In another video, the Titan also shared his views on gym etiquette and respect for bodybuilding.
