Welcome to Daily Insight,

My name is François and in this episode I will talk about confronting your mortality.

So get ready to expand your perspective and embrace positive change.

You only live each day once,

So make it count.

Navia,

Véringannam.

I was driving a motorbike crossing the Salar of Uyuni in Bolivia at 100 kilometers an hour.

The wind was rushing through my hair and I felt like I was on top of the world.

But that feeling of invincibility disappeared quickly when I saw a terrible accident happening right in front of me.

I saw a bus crash into a car.

Now it's hard to believe,

This place is massive,

There are no obstacles,

It's just white covered with salt in all different direction.

It's a bit like two planes crashing in the middle of the sky.

It's unsilly.

Sadly,

Two people died in the accident.

It's a really sad story and it made me think of fragile life is.

That experience reminded me of something important.

Every day is a gift.

When you come face to face with the possibility of your own mortality,

The value of just being granted another day becomes invaluable.

But you don't need to wait for need that experience to figure that out.

I'll tell you right now,

Each and every day is a gift.

Many people are scared of death because they think it will take everything away.

But in reality,

It's our regrets and unfulfilled dreams that create that fear.

When you live your life to the fullest,

Embracing each moment with passion and purpose,

Even the tough ones,

Death loses its grips on you.

It becomes less terrifying and more of a natural part of the journey.

Look,

One day it will be your last day and there is nothing you can do about it.

So here's my question for you.

Do you live fully?

Tomorrow when you wake up,

Take a moment to ask yourself,

What am I excited about today?

What can I enjoy and appreciate today?

And with who can I make sure to create unforgettable memories and have a great time?

Use these questions to create more intentionality every single day.

Thank you for choosing to spend those few minutes with me.

This was a tough one.

I hope this episode has left you with a powerful takeaway to apply to your life.

Remember,

It's the small steps we take each day that lead to significant transformation.

Follow me to not miss out on the next insight.

And remember,

One insight can change everything.

So stay present,

Stay focused and embrace the potential of each new day.
