“I survived something that should have killed me.”

Survival carries weight. It asks something of you. You don't owe the universe a grand gesture, but you do have a clarity now that most people spend their entire lives trying to find. The question is not why you survived, it's what you do with the time that clarity has revealed.

Your Practice

Write this down: what has this experience shown you about what actually matters? Name it plainly. Then identify one thing you were doing before that no longer makes sense in light of that, and one thing you were not doing that now deserves to start. Act on one of those today.

“Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today.”

Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls, 1940
