Nineteen Hours to Live
What if you had just 19 hours left to live — who would you spend them with, and how? More importantly, how close is your current life to that ideal day? How contemplating death can clarify what truly matters.
"If you knew you were going to die tomorrow night, and you could plan out your last 19 hours, who would be the 3–5 people you would spend them with — and how?"
That’s the question we tackled in a recent mastermind session. Not for the first time, this was our second deep dive into the topic of death.
But the real power of this question isn’t in the asking.
It’s in the reflection that follows.
It’s not just “who” or “how” you’d spend those final hours with — it’s how that imagined day compares to the life you’re actually living right now.
Are you spending your time the way you want?
Are you surrounded by the people who bring you joy and meaning?
Are you giving your energy to things that wouldn’t even be allowed in the room during your final hours?
