You're 50, so what?

You got 40, you're 70, you probably got 20 more years left.

What are you doing?

You could also, you do that exercise thinking about what you hope or wish is being said about how you lived your life.

Because what you don't want it to be is, well, he got to be 70 and had the love of his life and just turned down the opportunity to get married again and do it.

And she wanted to go to medical school, but talked herself out of it for 30 years.

So how old did you say you were going to be when you died?

And what was the thing that you haven't done yet that was on the list?

I'd like you to live a little longer.

I think there's a huge power, and you know this based on the way the brain works, in really embracing the truth of everything that you just said in terms of giving yourself permission to not just live a meaningful life now and find moments of meaning, but to really think about what you want to accomplish by the end.

Who do you want to become?

Yeah, who do you want to become?

I'm thinking about my mother-in-law, who's 89,

I think she's 89.

Is she 88?

I don't know.

But she texted in the family wide group chat, I'm going to be here another 10 years because I want to see all the grandkids get married if they choose to get married.

Right.

I was like, wow.

She's in the game.
