So that's this refining of our priorities that I'm talking about when we're aware that life's short.

Get on with our goals.

It does.

It does.

Yeah, you're highlighting something that I can refer to specifically, what I said earlier, the people who've had brushes with death.

It's so striking to me.

People that have emerged from maybe a cancer diagnosis, like maybe they're in remission or they've come home from the hospital, they're out of their coma, whatever their scenario is.

There's this beautiful falling away of the bull crap because they have this notion like, I saw the light.

Like, I know now that if I've got X number of Mondays left, that I'm going to want to focus on these things because they matter.

And I don't care as much about what other people think about me.

I don't care.

I'm going to put up the boundary word, the B word.

I'm going to say like, no, I would love to join your committee maybe some other year.

Or I can't make it to the barbecue this weekend, Aunt Ginny.

And not feel badly about it because there's this whole shifted perspective of like, my life is freaking precious.

Do I want to go to an obligatory barbecue?

I mean, maybe sometimes you have to for social graces.

There's always that

There's going to be a give and take in life.

Damn it.
