Okay, brace yourself because this is going to mess with your head a little bit and it's going to be uncomfortable to hear. But there's a book that I just read called 4000 weeks. It's depressing, yet it somehow made me the happiest that I've been in years. 4000 weeks is roughly the average human lifespan. It's hard to unhear that. But the premise is that you're going to die any minute now. And here's the part that changes everything. We spend so much of our lives avoiding commitment, especially this generation. Keeping our options open, never fully choosing the relationship, the career, the life because choosing one thing means closing the door on everything else. And that terrifies so many of us. But the research says the opposite of what you'd expect. People who burn the bridges, who move in together, who have the baby, who get married, who build the business, who go all in on one thing are consistently happier than the people who kept every door open. 4000 weeks. You don't have time to keep every option alive. Pick the person, pick the thing. Go all in. That's where the happiness is hiding.
