Reflect for a moment on your daily hustle—the tasks you dutifully check off, the scrolling through your phone, the binge-watching sessions late into the night. Are these pursuits so precious that the thought of death, which will inevitably strip you of them, fills you with dread?

The question isn't meant to be morbid but a call to assess the substance of what you're pouring your life into. Imagine looking back from your final moments—are the things you’re clinging to truly worth the weight of your time and passion?

Marcus's wisdom compels us to differentiate the trivial from the meaningful in our everyday lives. Instead of allowing the fear of death to paralyze us, let it serve as a powerful lens to bring our true values into focus.

Does that extra hour at work take precedence over an hour with loved ones? Is your virtual life stealing from experiences that can’t be replicated online?

Let death be your advisor, not your adversary, urging you to live so fully and authentically that when you meet it, you do so with a heart full of satisfaction rather than regrets.

Now, what can you change today to create a life that feels more worthwhile?
