 If you really believed you were dying you would live your life differently. There's a great quote from Tuesdays with Mori where he talks about most of us know intellectually we are going to die but we don't believe it because if we really believed it we would live our lives differently. We all have this terminal illness that's called birth and he talks about the Zen or the Buddhist idea of the bird on your shoulder saying is today the day and am I being who I actually need to be because if you really really really knew you were going to die there is no way you wouldn't change your life. So if you had one year left to live how would you approach that barista in the coffee shop or your friend who really is having a hard time or the job you've never really cared about but it's just been a means to an end. So if you really knew you were dying today you would live life differently. How would you live?
