But then I thought about it and I realized something very profound.

The question was never, would I live 300 years?

The question is, am I living this life right now in a way that's worth extending?

That's the most important question.

Because if I'm going to be going through the motions, putting things off for some day, half present today, what's the point of living up to 250 years more than what I'm going to live today?

My mother lived 70 years.

She came from a single room in South India, pawned her wedding ring,

so I could get an education.

She lived 70 years and she lived more fully than most people would live in 700 years.

So here's what I'm taking from this.

We don't need to live 300 years to live differently.

We don't need a pill.

We just need to ask, if you had 250 extra years, what would you do differently this afternoon?

What conversation would you stop avoiding?

What dreams would you stop postponing?

What person would you finally forgive?

Because whether you get to live 80 years or 800 years, the only moment you'll ever actually have is the one that you're living in right now.

So what are you doing with all of the time that you have?

Live the life to the fullest because you don't need to live up to 250 years.

Sonu, before we begin, I need to say something.
