When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, some day you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an 1 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every 2 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 3 has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to 4 something.

Everything else is 15 .
