It's this sense of real regret that it's over.

And there were so many things I had left undone.

It all changed in an instant.

Life changes in an instant.

We all have had friends that things have happened to in an instant.

And I think in our evolution, we're unable to process that because we would have never left the cave if we felt that, right?

So there's this concept called hedonic adaptation that we will adapt to whatever situation.

And that's what life is about.

We have adopted this thing.

And that was for me, this notion of, gosh, when the plane landed, I am going to live with intense purpose every day.

I am going to ask for forgiveness the moment I do something wrong.

I'm going to drink my best wines whenever the person is there.

I'm going to say I love you to anybody I love.

I am going to try my very best.

every day to try to like not regret not doing or saying something.

And that was wonderful.

So I live out loud, so to speak, because I know it's going to change in an instant.

Tomorrow may be that instant, and I'm not having that regret if it happens.

The second thing that I thought about, it was like you go into superhuman, right?

Your adrenaline is shooting.
