Your Bonus Life Begins Now
Imagine this: today was your day to die, but somehow you’ve been granted a bonus life. What will you do with this extra time you’ve been given, and what will you fill it with?

The Sword of Damocles
The hammer could drop at any moment. You’re not guaranteed to live forever. The sword could fall on your head, bringing your premature and untimely demise. What are you going to do about it?
Terrible Thoughts… For the Win?
Keep your mind full of terrible thoughts — what a strange concept! And very counter-intuitive. There is a benefit here, however, that escapes us at first glance and is worth investigating.
You Don’t Own Much
All the things that you think you own — you don’t really. Any number of events could rip them away from you. You don’t own much at all, in fact, aside from your life and your reasoned choice.
No Prizes
You don’t win anything when you practice stoicism. You don’t get rich, you don’t get any material possessions from it. You do, however, gain personal growth in your life.
Live Like a Dying Person
Actually, you are dying — every day takes you one step closer toward your final destination, toward the end of your adventure on Earth. Act like it!
As If It Were Your Last
Why do we wait until we have no time left to settle old scores and mend fences? Forgive now, love now. Prepare your mind for the end, every day.
