+1: #530 Hagfish Are Pretty Freaky

You're listening to Optimize with Bryan Johnson. More wisdom in less time. Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another Optimize plus one, continuing our underwater theme for a moment longer. Have you ever heard of hagfish? They're pretty creepy and I apologize in advance for the visual image here, but I think it's worth it. Here's how Steve Chandler describes hagfish in his great book Time Warrior. He says, to really live now, there are two things I want to phase out of my life forever. Resentments about the past and worries about the future. These two activities, strengthened by repeated indulgence, are like hagfish. Hagfish. Many people don't know what hagfish are, but. But they are just like worries and resentments. He says in the real undersea world, hagfish are blind, slimy, deep water eel like creatures that dart into the orifices of their prey and devour them alive from the inside. Steve continues by saying, kill the hagfish in your life, then you can live now and maybe procrastinate later. And end quote. Yeah, that's a heck of a way to kill your prey, huh? Dart into their orifices and then devour them alive from the inside. Yikes. And, well, that's today's plus one. Got any hagfish in your life? Any resentments and or worries that are eating you from the inside out? Is now a good time to kill those hagfish before they get you? Fantastic. Good luck with that.
