And you're like, you know that you're going to die either way.

And either way, when you die, you're going to be bummed that you didn't live longer because...

The life expectancy in the US is 78.

You're like, great.

Say you make it for men, whatever.

Say you make it that far, you're still going to be like, man, I wish I had 22 more years to watch my grandkids graduate college or whatever.

It's still going to feel like too little.

I'm kind of like, you're better off dying at 55 in an accident but having done many things that you're proud of and led a life that you're proud of than dying at 78 and still wishing you had more but having done none of the things that you wanted to do.

Yeah, it's totally insane.

I mean, everyone's like, oh, I don't take any risk.

And you're like, yeah, well, you can take no risk in your life and you're still going to freaking die.

So you might as well take smart, calculated risks and do all the things that you want to do and at least die happy when you go.

What does this mean to you to live intentionally?

Well, that's exactly it.

Like choosing the risk that you're willing to take, making choices, like using your time the way you want to use it.

Did I do a personality test?

I'm like, how much material do you have?

Yeah, basically because your time is short and you're going to die.

So get on with it.

Well, I'm sure there's a clinical definition, but I think of it as sort of general anxiety type stuff, like people spinning in their heads about things that don't matter.
