The Secret of Life

I think I discovered the secret of life.

Last week or so, I enjoyed a happy hour beverage with a new work friend who is a 24-year-old fella and we got to talk in about life. And it was in our conversation I just had this wild sensation of time travel back to when I was in my mid-twenties. I was struck by how much life had transpired since those days And I realized that had I adopted a more mindful way of being, the past few decades wouldn't feel like a blink of an eye.

Nowadays, I am more mindful with my experiences. I'm really absorbing using every sense I can in a moment and when I do that it seems to make the moment seems longer and when I think back about the experience, It feels like I'm in the moment again. Does that make sense?

When I'm rushing around not even looking at or thinking about what I'm experiencing, it's lost, the time is simply lost. So if you want to live a super long life, super saturate your moments by using your senses in each experience you can to make it double the lasting experience.

Today, I enjoyed a delicious brunch with my friend Kamrin, which included a love fest with Buck the dog. Absorbing those moments of connecting with a friend, eating yummy french toast, and giggling over the attention of the cutest dog in the world - well, that sure was a slice of The Good Life. ❤
