One day…nothing else

3,650. Just think about that number. It is finite. Clear. Easy to understand. If it were in countdown mode, tomorrow there would be 3,649. So next time you think about 10 years consider it in days. 10 years is 3,650 days. Now how do you choose to spend it? What are you going to cherish? […]
