if today were the last day in my life, would I wanna do

what I'm 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 were 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

about a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer , I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning

and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas

I didn't even know what a pancreas was

the doctors told me, this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable

and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six month

my doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order

which is doctor's code for prepare to die

it means to try and tell your kids everything

you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell

in just a few months , it means to make sure everything is buttoned up

so that will be easy as possible for your family

It means to say your goodbyes
