Spend time with the end

Spend time with your death every day.

Bring it in close. Let its inevitable finality help you see what your life is really for.

Imagine yourself, at the end of your life, saying “I wish i had ___________.” and fill in the blank. Imagine yourself saying “I wish i hadn’t ___________.” and fill in the blank.

Imagine what you will feel like at the time of your death if you change nothing in your life and keep living the way you have been. Imagine what you will feel like at that time if you make courageous choices every day in the direction of your heart’s desires.

The only guarantee is that you will face the end at some point. What if instead of avoiding it, you lovingly spent time with it every day? What would it have to show you?
