0:00.0	This is Optimal Living Daily Episode 1358. You will die momentarily by IraIsraelofIraIsrael.com
0:08.2	and I'm Justin Mollik. Happy Friday, welcome back to Optimal Living Daily or the OLD podcast,
0:13.4	where I read to you from some of the best blogs I can find and get permission from,
0:17.6	covering self-help or personal development, minimalism, productivity, and a lot more.
0:23.1	Today's post may sound morbid, but it's definitely worth the listen.
0:27.0	For now, let's get right to it and start optimizing your life.

1:29.2	a miniscule spot on planet earth for a finite period of time. Fact, you will die and no longer exist
1:35.9	for millions of years again. Thus, in relation to the time you spend not being alive,
1:41.7	your life is obviously precious. Thinking on this grand scale makes everyday a gift,
1:46.8	something to be cherished, right? So, what do we learn as children in our society that pushes
1:52.4	these facts to the back of consciousness, only to re-emerge after a near-death experience,
1:56.4	such as the one Rigolias describes in his beautiful TED Talk? We all know that living life is fatal,
