"Would I want to do what I am about to do today?"

12/15/2020

 
Being on the brink of momentous changes, I am deeply inspired by this Steve Jobs quote:

“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something ... almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose."

What are you going to do today?

Is it what you would want to do if this was the last day of your life?

How can you bring yourself closer to having that ideal day?

Does your ideal arise out of a receiving mindset, or a giving mindset?
