Living intentionally means being mindful of how we spend our time, energy, and attention each day. A simple way to start is by setting daily reminders—morning reflections to clarify what matters most, midday check-ins to realign with our values, and evening reflections to acknowledge growth. Visual cues, like a meaningful quote or a symbol of time, can serve as gentle nudges to stay present. By embracing these small practices, we can lead a life of purpose, even in the face of life’s impermanence.

Instead of fear or division, this awareness should inspire collaboration and a collective effort to leave a positive mark on the world, making it a better place for future generations.

Of course, we say a day goes well when we win the lottery, or a day goes badly when we lose a loved one. But in the end, these are external things, a reality that, on its own, lacks human characterization.
