In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, I reflect on a previous meditation titled Think Like a Mortal (from Perennial Meditations on Substack) and explore what it means to live an intentional life. I discuss how realizing that we are “dying every day” can help us live in the present moment and lead more meaningful lives.
Key Takeaways
- The wisdom of accepting life’s eternal truths
- The paradox of uncertainty
- The need for constraints and limits
- Happiness (and Life) is in the present
