Because "live everyday as if it's your last" is boring and cliched advice.
LIVE LIKE THIS INSTEAD!
Live like you're going to get cancer at 35, or maybe 50.
Live like you're going to get a stroke and get paralyzed one day and then your entire family has to take care of you.
Live like your business will fail one day and you're going to lose everything you've built for.
Live like your partner is going to leave you soon.
Live like your one of your loved ones will die before you.
Live like you'd have to bury your child first.
Live like your house is gonna burn down and you're gonna lose all your treasures one day.
Live like you're forced to move out of your homeland somehow some time in the future.
Live like you're going to be disabled one way or another next time.
Live like your friends change for the worse one day.
Live like your best buddy will betray you one day.
Live like your parents will get divorced one day.
Live like you're going to be homeless one day.
Does all of this sound morbidly disturbing to you?!
That's the point.
It's time to realize that life is unpredictable, a god damn mystery and that there's nothing you really can do about it.
It's time to realize that anything can happen to you.
It's time to realize life is really too short.
It's time to start being grateful.
It's time to choose happiness.
Oh, but don't be an asshole about it. Don't hurt others okay?
Peace,
Alden
