 
- [Host] Now, most of
us do our best to not
to think about death, but
there's always part of our minds
that knows this can't go on forever.
Don't you know this is coming?
Don't you know that
there's gonna come a day
when you'll be sick, or
someone close to you will die,
and you'll look back
on the kinds of things
that captured your
attention, and you'll think,
"What was I doing?"
You know this, and yet, if
you're like most people,
you'll spend most of your
time in life tacitly presuming
you'll live forever.
But the one thing people tend to realize
at moments like this is that they wasted
a lot of time when life was normal.
It's not just that they
spent too much time working
or compulsively checking email.
It's that they cared
about the wrong things.
They regret what they cared about.
Their attention was bound
up in petty concerns,
the year after year when life was normal.
'Cause even if you live to be 100,
there's just not that
many days in life, okay?
It is always now.
However much you feel you may
need to plan for the future,
to anticipate it, to mitigate risks,
the reality of your life is now.
