“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 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.
Remember 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, al 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 thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is
no reason not to follow your heart.”
