“It’s a cliché question to ask, **What would I change about my life if the doctor told me I had cancer?** After our answer, we inevitably comfort ourselves with the same insidious lie: Well, thank God I don’t have cancer. But we do. **The diagnosis is terminal for all of us. A death sentence has been decreed. Each second, probability is eating away at the chances that we’ll be alive tomorrow**; something is coming and you’ll never be able to stop it. Be ready for when that day comes.” ([Location 2058](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B00IX49OS4&location=2058)) --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[momento-mori]], [[personal-values]], [[routines]], **Source** -- [[202409180132 - B - The Obstacle is the Way]]
