Death, of course. Not just the big, final death. We’re anxious about all the little deaths we potentially face: that our relationship will end, our company (or our role in it) won’t survive, that the image that we project out to the world will tarnish or fade, etc… All of these carry with them the same downside: They take away our attention from our lives in this moment, transporting us instead to a fantasy world called tomorrow which will never arrive. If we want to enjoy life more, we have to do it…
NOW.
