When the unavoidable day finally comes when I can no longer do the activities that make me happy, I don’t want to have any regrets that I didn’t squeeze in as much fun as possible. I always carefully calibrate and allocate an appropriate amount of time to get to the next activity on time, assuming nobody slows me down traveling in one of our golf carts governed to not exceed the speed limit. If somebody prevents me from getting to my destination on time, knowing I am not exceeding any speed limits, I am going to do whatever is safely necessary to get in front of them. It’s not me being rude, it’s on them for disrespecting and wasting my time.
The key to happiness is not what we can do for ourselves, but what we can do for others.
