The Importance of Getting the Order Right in Pursuing Life Goals
The order in which we pursue our life goals is crucial for optimal fulfillment and success. Making dynamic decisions and prioritizing our goals correctly is essential. For example, if we prioritize certain activities, such as marriage and having kids, before others, like going to a strip club, it can interfere with our long-term fulfillment. Each stage of life has its own optimal time period for certain experiences, and if we don't prioritize them accordingly, we may encounter problems or miss out on opportunities. Delaying certain activities, like hella skiing or tackling Mount Kilimanjaro at an older age, can result in suboptimal experiences or even make them impossible. It is essential to consider the timing and order of our life goals to avoid regrets or missed opportunities later on. This is exemplified by the speaker's personal experience of having to give up wakeboarding due to back problems, which could have been avoided if it was prioritized earlier in life.
