You Are One Step Closer

Inching in a direction

It’s easy to take today for granted. Conceptually, it makes sense. You have woken up every day for as long as you can remember.

However, each passing day you are one step closer. There is this powerful quote and question: “Every day you wake up, you are one day closer to death. So what are you going to do with the time you have left?”

I know it’s a profound question on a Monday and a little bit of a morbid thought at that. But there is no better way to kick start your week than to remind yourself:

  1. Speak positive words to yourself

  2. Don’t sweat the small stuff

  3. Have a bias for action

Everyday you wake up, you are one day closer to death. So what are you going to do with the time you have left?
