Quote of the Day
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like:
"If you live each day as if it was your last,
someday you’ll most certainly be right.”
It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years,
I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself:
“If today were the last day of my life,
would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row,
I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered
to help me make the big choices in life.
Because almost everything —
all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure —
these things just fall away in the face of death,
leaving only what is truly important.
Remembering that you are going to die
is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking
you have something to lose.
You are already naked.
There is no reason
not to follow your heart.
