Imagine I offered you $5 million USD, every psychedelic drug regardless of law, every hedonistic dream you ever had, unlimited booze, whatever you want, nothing forced on you.
Do you take it knowing the addiction risks? You obviously say yes! Perhaps you just accept for the 5 million?
But what if the consequence is that you die in 24 hours? You quickly change your mind. No way do you take that. I 10x everything, $50 million usd. I even arranged and schedule the perfect 24 hours of hedonism before it starts. You still decline right?
You just found out, waking up each morning is worth more than $50 million usd.
In life, you have 3 big luggages to carry around. The past(40 years of 'struggle and negativity'), the present, and the future that you cant predict.
You can only carry 1 luggage. If you carry the future luggage, you're going to be fearful and anxiety from your imagination. "But what if ___ happens if i do X"
If you carry the past, you're going to ruminate about things that you cant change.
The only luggage you can carry is the present. Live the present moment. Carpe Diem.
It doesnt matter your age, in 300 years from now... Trump will be remembered. Virtually nobody else will be remembered. Spend your day in a way that you enjoy because nobody else cares or will remember what you did.
