It’s easy to feel like you’re just going through life on autopilot sometimes without making every day count. That’s why it’s important to design the kind of life you want to live.
Positive psychologist Jodi Wellman says we can take control of our time and design the kind of lives we want to live. She’s the author of a new book called You Only Die Once.
“Memento mori is the Latin phrase of really what we’re talking about, which means, ‘Remember, we must die.'”
“When we become on autopilot…it’s just easier to stay that way.”
