Robin Sharma

So when I'm about to make a decision, I say, well, I roughly have 25 Christmases left, 25 summers.

When you say it like that, you say, okay, I better get this done, or I better do this ethical ambition, or I better take this risk, or I better chase that love story.

So I think death is not depressing.

Thinking about death is not depressing, I think.

thinking about death is actually inspiring because then it just sharpens you on what's most important in life.

I'm blessed to have an amazing partner to share life with.

Her name is Elle.

She's waiting for me to return.

I've been on the road for three weeks.

So day after tomorrow, I will be back home.

She's waiting for me with our little dog, Holly, who's a five-pound Chorky.

I call her Super Chum because she's with me all the time.

And I have found that 90% of your joy comes from your life partner.

And if you don't believe me, and I know you're not, but find a partner, and I've seen this in people's lives, but find a partner who creates nonstop drama.

and see how your life looks in every other dimension.

It just consumes you.

If you hang around with energy vampires and dream stealers, it just completely messes up your life.

And some people get in situations, and I've seen it happen, where they pick the wrong partner and they're dealing with the implications for 15 years.

Some people, there's a lot of projection in relationships.

It's another old idea, which is heal what hurts you so you don't bleed on people who didn't cut you.
