Live as if you’re already dead

Live as if you’re already dead. 

Live as if you’re on borrowed time. 

This remaining life is just icing on the cake.

Close your eyes, take a deep breathe and imagine you are already dead.

Now open your eyes and be grateful for being born again. You have a second chance, a new lease on life.

Do what sets your soul on fire. Attack your bucket list.

Have a biased toward action and achieve your wildest dreams, now when you are of the right mind, able bodied and still have this youthful adventurous nature.

Time waits for no man.

If you JFDI like my mentor Dan Martell has on his license plates, which stands for Just F*cking Do It and “Carpe Diem”, from the Roman poet Horace, which means “seize the day”, you will arrive at the end of your life with fulfillment, gratitude and a joyful feeling of doing all that you wanted to do.

What a way to go out.

You truly appreciated the ephemeralness of life, the miracles it possesses and truly squeezed every ounce of juice from life’s sweet nectar. 

“We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one”- Confucius.

Essentially, this means your first life is when you felt you have all of eternity. But your second life begins when you realize you only have this one and so you better make sure you make the most of it.
