People often fear change due to loss aversion, which makes it painful to separate from familiar situations, even if they are unhappy.

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

Many people don't allow themselves to access more vitality and enjoyment in life because the familiarity of their current circumstances overrides their willingness to move forward.

Sometimes, the safest choice is to take a risk, as doing something uncomfortable can lead to personal growth and fulfillment, rather than sticking to familiar but unfulfilling patterns.

The hardest part about change is making a different choice than you did the day before, as it often feels uncomfortable to step from the known into the unknown.

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

Facing death regularly can motivate individuals to act with urgency and purpose in their lives.

Change happens when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of making a change. However, many people endure pain repeatedly without changing, and true change often occurs when they find hope that things can improve.

Living a life you don't want, dating someone just for social acceptance, or staying in a job you don't love is terrifying to me.
