Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. -OT

[Guest guest]

" My third story is about death.

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. "

Sorry, admittedly somewhat OT but a great read I wanted to share!
