Episode 50: The Life Unlived — Regret or Endless Possibilities

“Regret isn’t a tombstone. It’s a compass.”

Welcome to the 50th milestone episode of The Newvision Oldways Podcast! In this powerful celebration, I take us on a full-circle journey through fifty conversations that have challenged how we think, grow, and live. From courage and mindfulness to impermanence and rebirth — this episode brings it all home with one question that echoes through time:

Are you living the life you desire, or are you living a life full of regret?

A Milestone of Meaning

Fifty episodes. 6 continents. 30 countries. 221 cities & Thousands of listeners.
 What started as one man’s search for personal growth has become a worldwide movement of curiosity, courage, and transformation. I look back on the conversations that shaped the show — and forward to the endless possibilities that still await us all.

Most of us fear regret, burying it like a shameful relic. But I flip the script — showing how regret isn’t something to hide from, but something to learn from.
It’s not a signal of failure. It’s a whisper from your soul saying:

“There’s still more to do.”

Through the lens of psychology and experience, I reveal how guilt and missed chances can become spiritual breadcrumbs — guiding us back to who we’re meant to be.

Change isn’t the enemy. It’s the rhythm of life.
 In one of the episode’s most moving reflections, I explore radical impermanence — the idea that everything changes, ends, and begins again.
Drawing inspiration from Buddhist philosophy and The Tibetan Book of the Dead, he shows how embracing impermanence can set us free from fear, attachment, and the illusion of control.

“When we stop clinging to what we can’t keep, we stop suffering. When we stop fearing change, we start to live.”

Control, is just fear in disguise — the mind’s attempt to build walls around the unpredictable flow of life.
 But life doesn’t ask for our control. It asks for our participation.
By releasing control, we remove the blinders that keep us from seeing possibility. Suddenly, the tunnel opens into a horizon — vast, alive, and unwritten.
This is the essence of Newvision Oldways: letting go of what was, to rediscover what can be.

Every person carries a version of the life they never lived — a dream buried beneath responsibility, fear, or distraction. This episode is your invitation to open that door again.
You are not finished.
Your mind, your body, and your spirit are still capable of rewriting your story — today, right now, wherever you are.

At its core, Newvision Oldways has always meant this:
