Mindsip insights from this episode:
Navigate three life stages: find, make, and become yourself
A long life can be viewed in three 29-year stages: finding yourself, making yourself, and finally, becoming yourself.
Create a checklist for strong life finish and spouse care
Finishing life strong can be a deliberate process that involves creating a checklist to simplify finances and living arrangements for your spouse to ensure they are cared for.
Accept unfinished projects to find peace at life's end
A person who lives with purpose will by definition die with unfinished projects, and accepting this is a key to finding peace at the end of life.
Value time over money to enhance life satisfaction
He resents having an hour of his time wasted more than losing money, because you can't get the time back.
Express appreciation before it's too late
Inspired by Tim Russert's funeral, he realized that eulogies are flawed because the person being honored never gets to hear the wonderful things said about them.
Harness clarity to say 'no' and focus on your vision
Having a clear vision for your life makes it easy to say 'no' to opportunities that are not consistent with your most important outcomes and indicators.
Define success first to achieve your goals
To achieve any goal, including personal ones, first define what a successful outcome looks like and then work backward, rather than focusing on the steps to get there.
Live with intention to embrace life's unpredictability
Losing his father at a young age gave him the gift of realizing life is short and unpredictable, which motivated him to live with great intention, like always walking up escalators.
