    What's your number one question about self-improvement?


    When you say the affirmation, "I understand that my days are numbered," it can be a sobering reminder of the finite nature of life. It can bring up feelings of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, but it can also inspire you to live your life to the fullest and make the most of the time you have.

    It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day routine of life and forget that our time on this earth is limited. But when we truly internalize this truth, it can be a powerful motivator to take action and pursue our dreams and goals with a renewed sense of urgency.

    Instead of letting the fear of death paralyze us, we can use it as a catalyst for growth and change. We can ask ourselves, "What do I want to accomplish in my life? What legacy do I want to leave behind?" And then we can take action to make those dreams a reality.

    Knowing that our days are numbered can also help us prioritize what's truly important in our lives. We can focus on building meaningful relationships, pursuing our passions, and making a positive impact in the world. We can let go of the trivial things that don't really matter and focus on what brings us joy and fulfillment.

    Of course, it's not always easy to live with this level of awareness. It can be overwhelming to think about our mortality and the limited time we have. But the truth is, none of us know how much time we've left. So instead of fearing it, let's embrace it and use it as a powerful motivator to live our lives to the fullest.

    In the words of Steve Jobs, "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." So let's embrace the truth of our limited time on this earth and use it to inspire us to live our best lives.
