Day 336: On Remembering That Your Time Is

Limited

Thinking  that  we  have  ample  time  to  do  things  later  is  the  greatest

myth, the greatest hang-up, and the greatest poison. If we knew that tonight

we were going to go blind, we would take a longing, last real look at every

blade of grass, every cloud formation. If we knew that we were going to be

deaf tomorrow, we would treasure every single sound.

—Pema Chödrön

Death can be the ultimate motivator. In a 2007 movie, The Bucket List

, it’s their impending death that motivates two terminally-ill men to embark

on a road trip with a wish list of things they want to do before their illnesses

claim their lives.

From time to time I like to imagine that I have a few months of life

left. I ask myself if I would die fulfilled or if there would be something I

would deeply regret not having done. Taking a few minutes to imagine such

a scenario is a helpful exercise in discovering your true priorities and serves

as a powerful boost of motivation to act now.

Thinking  about  death  is  morbid,  but  ultimately  can  also  act  as  an

inspiring experience that can shake you out of inaction. Imagine your last

hours  and  think  that  you’ll  never  be  able  to  do  the  things  that  you’ve

wanted to do your entire life, but never acted upon. The only thing left is

regret that when you could have done them, you chose to put those things

off and now you can only imagine how it would feel to accomplish them.

Now  realize  that  you’re  still  here,  still  alive  and  kicking,  and  there’s

still a possibility of making your dreams come true. Why on earth are you

still  putting  off  those  important  goals,  knowing  that  one  day  you’ll  no

longer be able to pursue them?
