Most people spend more time ruminating on the past or worrying about the future rather than being present, which is where true joy resides.

Life is fleeting, and each moment is precious; being present is essential to truly experiencing life.

People often make poor choices about how long they will live, putting less thought into it than they do for other life decisions.

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

Wasted time is a concept that can be reframed; it occurs when you're not present in the moment, distracted by thoughts of the past or future, rather than fully engaging with what is happening.

Life's preciousness is highlighted by the daily reminders of mortality, urging us to reflect on our priorities and connections.

Every waking moment, we are subconsciously aware of our mortality, which influences our decisions and gives urgency to our lives.

We spend too little time making significant life decisions, like choosing a career or where to live, which can have long-term impacts.

It's easy to spend a decade being busy and stressed without making real progress, often getting caught up in urgent but unimportant tasks.
