I’m currently reading Die with Zero by Bill Perkins. The general idea is simple: live while you’re alive.

He mentioned a concept that I’ve lived with for most of my adult life but worded it in such a brilliant way.

A highlight reel.

There will be a point in our lives where we are too frail to travel, play sports, take risks and generally have experiences that make life worth living.

What we will have is the highlight reel of everything we did when we had the chance. We can live through the powerful memories of the incredible lives we lived.

The idea is bittersweet but inevitable. Yet most people put off experience now under the assumption that they’ll have a chance later.

What will your highlight reel look like?
