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
