I Think Death Is a Gift
Summary
- I believe the inevitability of death is a blessing because it sharpens our perspective on what's truly important in life.
- It's essential to weigh the significance of events against the limited time we have; if you're not close with someone, you might reconsider attending their major life events like weddings.
- It's okay to prioritize your time and focus on what's truly important to you, even if it means missing some events or only reaching out for special occasions.
- Consistently evaluating how you spend your time, like deciding if something is worth four days of your year, is vital to make sure you're dedicating your life to what you value most.

How To Take Action
I would suggest taking a hard look at how you're spending your time. Think about the big picture – life is short, and you want your time to count for what's most important to you. Start by asking yourself if the activities you're committing to are truly significant in your life.
A good way of doing this is to measure the worth of any event against your goals and values. Say there's a wedding coming up, and you're not that close with the person. It might take four days of your time. Ask yourself if those days are better spent working toward what you really want. It's okay to make choices that fit your priorities.
Try to prioritize your time more effectively. You don't have to attend every event or celebrate every occasion. If it's not as important, just send a quick text on special days. For example, on birthdays or holidays, just a "Happy Birthday" or "Merry Christmas" message can be enough.
And for entrepreneurs or small business owners, this strategy is key. You’ve got limited time and resources, so focus on what's going to drive your business forward. Don’t get sidetracked by things that don’t contribute to your success.
Reflect on what you value most, and let that guide how you use your time. Maybe that means missing out on some things, but you’ll be spending your time on what matters most to you. Remember, time is precious – manage it wisely to live a life you're proud of.
