> No matter how seriously sick one may be, for example, one’s life is still 100% life. Even if we are dying, our life is still 100% life. Even if we are in prison, our life is still 100% life. There is no such thing as a 50% life or a 70% life. Each moment is all of our life.

<p>It's easy to move through this world thinking I will <em>start</em> to live my life when I achieve some goals. Trust me, I know. However, living in the moment is highly under-rated. It's a simple but very hard concept. It's the one thing I want to improve in 2025. Being alive is 100% life, why keep everything to a day that might not happen, gaining hype through all that time to an outcome that may never live up to the way it's in your head?</p>
