Optimizing life for maximum fulfillment | Bill Perkins (#237 rebroadcast)

And is it worth it for you to have them around? For me, I've had good friends throughout the years. It's unequivocal, yes. Friends and family. But it gets expensive. You got to run out the hotel rooms, et cetera, and entertainment and plan this thing. But I was like, some of these people, they have their own lives and own complications and conflicts. You won't get the time to do with it.

Some of these people won't be alive. May or may not be alive. You may drift apart.

It could be just a party. Most of my life is finding excuses to throw parties. Yeah. We get autopilot waiting for certain events like weddings or funerals or- Or special anniversaries. Special anniversaries or things like that. We autopilot like, oh, that's when we get together.

We allow autopilot to dictate when we do these things instead of thinking, hey, I really want to hang out with so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so. Let me design a trip or let me- Have a bowling alley or something. It could be low cost. Let me have a picnic, wiffle ball game, talking shit. One of the things I want to do, which I guess the startup cost will be something expensive.

Like, yeah, I'm going to kick some ass on laser tag and shit talk, but I'm also going to connect and have a good time with people. And I could do that. Once I put the initial cost, we could do that all the time. We can have a league. We can do all kinds of things. And it doesn't have to be laser tag. It could be wiffle ball at the park.

You can have a wiffle ball league, low cost, dollar store, pick up a wiffle ball bat. You're creating memories and somebody brings sandwiches and you can do that. And that's getting off autopilot. So I'm sorry to interrupt you, but you really hit the nail on the head about that. It's like design your life. Think about what you want out of it and make it happen.
