And, you know, I remember the maharaja had a morning ritual where every morning he would celebrate his funeral, complete with music and flowers.

And all the while he'd be saying, I have lived fully. I have lived fully. I have lived fully. And so I asked my father, you know, I said, dad, this is really interesting. This is a maharajah who is getting up every morning, and he's celebrating his own funeral. He's recreating his own funeral. And I said, I don't understand it. My dad, always a source of great wisdom in my life, said robin, this is easy. This man has created a morning ritual to remind him that every day could be his last.

And I think that's powerful, like building a morning ritual to remind you about the shortness of life.
