"I'll be dead soon is the most important tool to help me make decision in life. Almost everything all the external expectations. all pride all fear and embarassment or failure , these things ar just fall away in the face of death , leaving only what is truly important. Remebering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose , you are already naked and there is no reason not to follow your heart "
