Let us prepare our minds as if we'd come to the very end of life. Let us postpone nothing.
Seneca often wrote about the shortness of life — not to scare, but to sharpen. He warned against procrastination, not just of work, but of love, kindness, truth. You never know how long you have. In this spirit, he urged people to write letters today, apologise today, create today. His life was full of interruptions, yet he treated each moment as an opportunity to begin again.
Don't wait for the right time — now is all you have.
"If today were the last day of your life, would you want to do what you're about to do today?"
