Ultimately, our mortality can serve as a reminder to live each day to the fullest from "summary" of Life: Why Live if You Have to Die? by David Perry

Death is an inevitable part of life, a fact that we are all aware of but often choose to ignore. However, confronting our mortality can actually be a motivating force to live our lives to the fullest. When we acknowledge that our time on this earth is limited, it can serve as a wake-up call to prioritize what truly matters to us. By recognizing that our days are numbered, we are prompted to make the most of each moment and not take anything for granted. This realization can push us to pursue our passions, strengthen our relationships, and seek out new experiences that bring us joy and fulfillment. Instead of letting the fear of death hold us back, we can use it as a catalyst to live more boldly and authentically. Moreover, understanding the impermanence of life can help us let go of trivial worries and focus on what is truly important. When we grasp the fleeting nature of our existence, we are less likely to sweat the small stuff and more inclined to savor the present moment. This shift in perspective can lead to a greater sense of gratitude for the time we do have and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and wonder of life.
  1. Our mortality serves as a powerful reminder to seize the day and make the most of our precious time on this planet. Rather than being weighed down by thoughts of our eventual demise, we can use the awareness of our limited time as a catalyst for living with intention and purpose. Embracing our mortality can inspire us to live more fully, love more deeply, and leave a meaningful legacy that will endure long after we are gone.
