You're getting old and you're going to die, live every day knowing that!
Sometimes I forget this, but I try to remind myself often. We don't know when we will die, right? @zkjew%5C.lens
define death? do you really not exist when you "die"? How are you existing now if so? Have you existed before? Can you remember a time you haven't existed? If you take your own life, then you always know when you die 😛.
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.
