If you woke up every morning, yes at 5:00 AM, okay, maybe 5:15, and you literally said, “Today could be the last day of my life,” or you just were connected with your mortality, “Time is short. I will die someday. Soon or late, we all end up as dust.” Imagine the fire in the belly that would give to you. You would not be busy. You would clearly identify which things are important and which things are useless. Please don’t confuse movement with effectiveness. And then you would roll up your sleeves and get great things done. You would also, if you were connected with your mortality and the shortness of life, be more loving, be kinder to people, be more strategic, live your values, take more risks, bet the farm once in a while. And certainly, you’d wear your heart on your sleeve a lot more.
