I think that as I age, I still wake up excited about each day, valuing my relationships and the joy they bring. I've learned a lot about human behavior over the years, and I think I'm better at understanding it now than I was in my 20s.

Contemplating mortality helps prioritize what truly matters in life, reminding us to focus on meaningful experiences and relationships.

I think about death often because it influences how I see time and the actions I'm willing to take despite others' judgments.

Ruminating on the inevitability of death can help reduce anxiety by putting life’s stresses into perspective.

After a health scare in my family, I reassessed my priorities and realized the importance of self-care for long-term sustainability.

As I age, I find beauty in my work that I didn't see before, and I appreciate the moments when everything goes well during practice.

I practice more now than I used to, and I appreciate my practice sessions much more as I get older.

I realized that my fear of dying without accomplishing anything drove me to push myself beyond my limits.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've encountered for making big life choices, as it helps me focus on what truly matters.
