One of the Most Important Decisions You'll Make (Hint: It's About Love)


2m read

Who do we give our love to and who do we receive love from? I think it's a huge decision, the most, maybe the most important one, one of the most important decisions. I use the word love. Um, I think different people mean different things by love, so I'm almost afraid to use it.

But it's the notion that if your well-being is something that's important to me, and the well-being of us together is something that's important to us, and we contribute to that, we will get back more than we gave. Because we each can help each other in different ways, and not only will we have a better functional existence, getting whatever we want out of life in that path, but we will also have the joy of that.

It feels good to like each other, and it feels good to be curious. The greatest relationship in your life—who has that been for you? The person in your life who's made the biggest impact.

Well, my wife. She's been a partner for 43 years. Um, you know, so at all dimensions, you know, I love her. Um, intellectually, spiritually, physically, in all dimensions. And so, and we share the most important things. You know, uh, who you pick as your life partner, the person you wake up with in the morning, uh, and who is in that life partner, yeah, is the most important decision you can make.

You have to like them, they have to like you—that's obvious. We know that there's a sense of compatibility more than just chemistry. But if you use that match to burn a candle, that candle's going to give scent forever. It's going to last, it's going to burn, and be beautiful for so many people to experience.

So that's that compatibility piece. Curious, what's the greatest lesson she's taught you about becoming a better man and a better business leader?

Well, I get to see the world through her eyes, you know, and through her heart. So she shows me so many things. I would say, it, you know, through all the years, it's been many, many, many different things. Uh, but it's, uh, you know, it's everything. It's spirituality, it's, uh, you know, different places in the world, it's, um, so many things. That's beautiful.
