I do my best to live every day as if it were my last, and as if I lived forever, simultaneously.
Sometimes I need reminders of that. But mostly I live by it, truthfully.
That being said, if I knew there was exactly a year left, I would focus more on spending time with family, on writing and on making music, and perhaps less on earning money, working out, consuming ephemeral media (social media, YouTube videos & podcasts first and foremost).
I would not worry about the future. I also would have no hopes about the future. I would be fully present. Again, this is how I'm trying to live my life now, but as with most good things, it's all way easier said than done - especially when you know you have to put food on the table. When you know you want to start a family. When you know you want to provide value to the world. Those wishes, while normal and in most cases welcome, inevitably take us away from the present. And they take us away from actually leading with love & intuition, instead of fear & logic. Because wanting something is not only an ambition and a drive, it's a fear. The fear of not getting it. Of not achieving it.
