Honestly, no, I wouldn't say I've ever felt quite that way, but I appreciate your willingness to share that, so I'll share my own.

I take the approach that the world is a giant amusement park, and I want to ride all the rides. Definitely a big kid (54 years old) that works hard, plays hard, and follows every path that seems like a fun, challenging adventure.

I always know that time is slowly running out, but I plan to live to 105, so I'm about halfway. I try to enjoy each day while building a better me.

As I get older, my bucket list is getting shorter, but it's still quite long.

I have no plans to slow down as I age, unlike most.

I believe our will to live will play a significant role in determining our fate. If you live with passion and gratitude, and maintain your wonder and curiosity, you'll live closer to your full potential.

I just closed a business after almost 19 years. I now have a clean slate, no idea what comes next, staring completely over again. I love doing that. I've done it many times.

You're always one decision away from a whole new life. I remind myself of that every day. At any moment of any ordinary day, we can decide it's time to start again and go in a new direction, toward a new horizon. It takes courage to make those big changes, but a life worth living always does.

Death is coming for all of us, eventually, but I believe more people give up at some point. The Grim Reaper will have to fight me for it. I won't go quietly.

Thanks for sharing, that's incredible insight and I truely needed this right now 🫡

I hope it helps in some small way.

So many people worked their entire lives and sacrificed so much to give you and I this opportunity. We didn't earn it. It was their gift to us.

Honor them by cherishing their gift and making the most of every day. That's something I never forget.

I live to honor those who gave me everything.
