Memento Mori #doctor #happiness #life #balance

And my hospice patients were talking about what they regretted, what they never had the energy, courage, or time to do. And almost none of them said, I wish I made more money. And almost none of them said, I wish I worked more. Nights and weekends. They talked about these deeper things that they never pursued. And I was like, that's the message. That's what all my personal finance people need to hear. And so I wrote my book, Taking Stock to really bring those messages from the dying about money and life that I think we could all benefit from today, when we're in the midst of worrying about burnout and struggling with our careers and wondering how much is enough, you know, there's this term memento mori, this idea that we should carry with us, this idea that we're dying every day. And that's something we should think about even in the midst of life, because there's always a reason to put things off. We always don't have enough time. We always don't have enough money. A lot of times we don't have enough courage. We're so deeply afraid that we're going to fail that we don't actually try. And you run out of time to try at some point.
