The imperative

How old are your parents, if you don't mind?

So let's say they live to be 78, which is the, I hope they don't.

But let's say that they live to the average age.

So you see them, you said once to three times?

If you see them twice a year, you're going to see them 16 more times.

When you look at it that way, you're like, what?

That's a fundamental shift in the way that I looked at situations six months ago.

It's created a need to just not put stuff off and to recognize what's on your list of things that you want to do.

And your relationship with time is such a key component of your life because when you get caught in your routine, time goes so quickly.

When you understand that there are maybe only 28 summers left, and if you want to truly get as much experientially out of life, it just creates a tremendous amount of urgency.

Because you're like, nobody on the planet, no one's going to be here in 100 years.

I stopped writing it because I'm so aware of it.

There's not a day that goes by where my head hits the pillow, where I don't say to myself, did I maximize the day and am I aware of my mortality?

And it might sound depressing, but it's not.

I just said to my wife as I turned 50, let's have a big celebration.

This is a monumental birthday, and it's really affecting me, how I think.

I didn't think it would, but turning 50 is having a big impact on me.

And I said, when I was 25, I had a big party in New York City where I was living, and I want to kind of replicate that.

And she said, wow, honey, think about all the things that you've accomplished in the last 25 years.

And I'm like, I appreciate it, but I haven't done anything compared to the potential and what I want to do.

And she said, well, then think about the things that you've loved to do over the last 25 years.

What are the things that you've loved to do, and who have you loved to do them with?

And for me, it's been the races, the travel, this and that.

She said, well, look, put as much of that on your plate as you can with the people that you love to do it with in the next 25 years of your life.
