Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because 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. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ~ Steven Jobs in a Stanford University 2005 commencement address

Imagine a cancer diagnosis being
the most important tool
I’ve ever encountered
to help me make the big choices in life.
Certainly there’s truth there,
it narrows down what is really important!
Certainly, there is no reason
not to follow your heart.
Where does your heart lead you?
