Explore what it means to enjoy a well-lived life!
Want to make sure you’re not just alive . . . but truly living? Start by contemplating your own death.
Eager to live a life that’s richer, bolder, and more unapologetically YOU? Then it’s time to stop running from the truth that your life is finite—and start facing your mortality head-on. Because nothing will motivate you to seize the day . . .more than realizing your days are numbered.
First things first…
“Mortality Awareness” isn’t actually about obsessing over the end of your life.
It’s really about focusing more deeply on the middle - the juicy, messy, wonderful middle.
It’s a reminder to dive into that middle with your big, whole heart.
Accepting your mortality is like flipping a switch in your brain that says:
“Hey, stop wasting time on dumb stuff.”
Mortality Awareness inspires you to ask better questions, like:
“What am I doing with my precious time?”
And “Why am I spending so much time folding laundry - but still haven’t explored Tokyo?”
Mortality awareness invites you to make your life a little more passport stamps… and a little less matching up your socks.
Why do I have this fascination with mortality?
Because as I became older, I noticed how recognizing the finiteness of my days did something extraordinary. It sharpened my focus on what truly matters. And stripped away the superficial.
Below are 6 ways your unlikely friendship with impermanence will enrich your life.
1. Motivator
Procrastination loses its grip when you realize that time is a non-renewable resource. That trip you wanted to take, the book you’ve dreamed of writing, the reconciliation you’ve put off—awareness of death whispers, “Now is the time,” urging you into action with a gentle nudge.
2. Clarifier
Suddenly, the noise of the world falls away. Your priorities become clearer. You know those grudges you've been nursing like they're going to hatch into golden eggs? Or that envy that's been eating you up? Death comes along, puts an arm around you, and gently reminds you to stop wasting precious time on this small stuff.
3. Deepener
Relationships gain depth and texture under the shadow of mortality. You listen more intently, hug more tightly, and speak more honestly, knowing that each interaction could be more precious than you ever imagined.
4. Beautifier
Ordinary moments become extraordinary. Oh, the sweetness of a shared meal, a walk in the park, the laughter of a friend, the ridiculousness of dogs wearing sweaters—everything takes on a Technicolor vibrancy when you acknowledge that these moments are fleeting.
5. Self Revealer
You’re reminded to stop being who you think you should be and start being who you really are. Suddenly, the roles you play and the masks you wear feel like a waste of time. You act, speak, and love from your truest core self. You say yes to the unsaid. You kiss the person who makes your heart do the cha-cha. You become you-ier.
6. Liberator
The fear of failure begins to lose its sting. When you understand that your time is limited, the risk of not trying at all becomes far scarier than the possibility of failure. You become bolder, more willing to leap, because you realize that playing it safe is perhaps the greatest risk of all.
