We live our lives and we feel as if we're promised something.

You think about how many people woke up this morning thinking, like, man, everything is going to be great,

One day you wake up on top of the world, next day you wake up, world is on top of you.

There's a time for everything, and for every thing you reap, there will you sow.

There's a time to kill, there's a time to live, there's a time to plant, there's a time to gather.

All you ever have, all that you can ever experience, is intrinsically linked with the present moment.

It's inseparable from the present moment.

Your entire life unfolds in and as the present moment, that all there ever is.

Every true day that I don't get a text or phone call, that somebody I love died or has terminal illness, I'm fucking pumped.

And so please, please understand you have one life.

Listen to me, you're running out of time.

You keep telling yourself you got time and watch what happens.

He talks about how when him and his wife first got together, before they were married, I think they were 23, 24, living in New York.

And he looks back and he said to his wife, "That really was living, wasn't it?

We used to lie in on a Sunday and we could go for lunch and do all the rest of it." His wife said, "You were miserable.

You hated all of those things." And Morgan's realization was, in hindsight, you're able to see that the fears that captured you at the time were not worth having.

But at the time, you have no certainty that those aren't salient.

So what you see in retrospect is how you should have felt had you known what was going to occur.

The golden years seem to never happen in the present.

Man, my grandmother died at 93, and a month later, my other grandmother died at 90.

I will never be able to talk to my grandmother again.

And I'm next." So because life is short, I don't have time to focus on what's not.

I've got to focus on what is, then get up and go do it.

you realize that what is life but to capture and bottle the good moments when you can get them?

To really stop and to really enjoy those moments.

Truly, the gifts that have been given to me by starting at a young age, doing what I love, to be able to travel the world, make music that I love, to meet people from all over the world and all walks of life.

But the thing that it took from me was a little bit of the slowness of the growth.

and it was always thinking about what hasn't happened yet or dwelling on what is already dead.

There was very little time to think about what's here and very little time to bottle the goodness of what's right here.

I think that it's quite likely, when you look back, that these times right now will be the ones that you cherish.

So you should approach them with joy and care and presence, the requisite joy and care and presence.

And I think, most importantly, ignoring the cynics and the buzzkills.

and he says, "The greatest trick the devil ever played was making you believe that the pessimists are the good guys." Basically, just don't like, don't wait.

Delayed gratification in the extreme just results in no gratification.

The sacrifice-reward dynamic that you are used to is great in the micro and awful in the macro.

It's not about waiting for personal growth to be over.

And this is something that I need to permanently remind myself of on a minute-by-minute basis.

If you go to a nursing home, you will find multiple people that will talk to you about regrets in a way that will pierce your soul in a way that you've never felt before, because they're actually in that place where time has run out.

And it will make you go back home and start cooking for the first time, starting a video, running.

You'll start doing shit that you've been pondering for the last decade after one hour of giving back.

See, the greatest lie that you have believed far too long is that you have time, that there is a tomorrow, that you can drag your feet and you can crawl.

Run like you know that there is nobody else that can attain it.

You've got this great line where you say so many people are obsessed with how to live longer instead of how to live better.

But in the pursuit of it, are we measuring quality of life along the way?

And I personally don't want to have the highest number,

but then go, "Oh, that didn't even fun." Or, "I didn't enjoy that." Or, "That sucked." I'm just trying to remind everyone that, just like in business, when I say success without the profit, we have plenty of people that succeed.

If you got the most money, the most toys, you succeed.

And we talked about those people earlier that, at the end of the day, have problems with relationships or they can't sleep, whatever.

They're not profiting with their success.

Profit measures quality with the quantity.

So I'm saying real success is when you have profit.

Well, really great longevity would be for those quality years, quality time left in this life.

They say time is what we want most but what we use worst.

And I'm just here to tell somebody get that urgency back.
