We’re All Wealthy Today

Bynhcarmichael

James Clear has become my favorite resource, from his book Atomic Habits to his weekly newsletter to his Twitter account. Today he posted this gem, which I share if only to always remind myself of this. We all enjoy immense wealth today. Make the most of it:

“You are richer than 93% of people.

Not in money, but in time.

108 billion people have lived throughout history. 93% of them are dead.

Today.”

Amen.

“Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now take what’s left and live it properly.” — Marcus Aurelius There’s something about an extended vacation that makes you hyper-aware of the world you return to.
