Yesterday, I was listening to Dan Sullivan and was struck by a transformational thought he shared. Despite being around 70 years old, he has made the decision to live until 150 or more, with a specific number in mind. This was surprising because one would expect someone of his age to be nearing the end of their life. However, he considers himself to be in the “middle” of his life and is open to re-negotiating this age limit as advancements in life extension technology become available.
Initially, I thought this attitude was arrogant and meant to impress others. But upon further reflection, I realized that our ability to fulfill our dreams is not limited by external obstacles, but rather by our own lack of mental transformation. Our beliefs and identity shape our reality, and by transforming ourselves, we can achieve the life we desire.
What if our lifespan is not determined by physical limitations, but rather by our subconscious beliefs? What if we live for only a certain number of years because we have mentally accepted that as our limit? Our subconscious beliefs can be powerful and dangerous, shaping our reality without us realizing it.
One may argue that old-age illnesses are the cause of death, not just a mental acceptance of a specific lifespan. However, I believe that changing one’s identity and mindset can have a significant impact on their life choices and ultimately their lifespan. For example, a person who aims to live until 156 years old will have a different mindset and make different choices than someone who has accepted the “normal” lifespan. They will prioritize their health, follow a rejuvenating diet, stay on top of life extension technology, and have the financial means to access these treatments.
A long lifespan is not just about physical health, but also about having a strong reason to live. Some people may not have enough excitement in their lives to motivate them to live a long life. Finding purpose, gratitude, and excitement for every day can be key to living a longer and fulfilling life.
In conclusion, our lifespan is not limited by physical obstacles, but by our own beliefs and mindset. The sky is the limit, what is your number?
