If you can fully embrace the unpredictability of your death, you will truly live in the present and appreciate every moment before you now.

None of us can predict when and how we will die. If you can fully embrace the unpredictability of your death, you will truly live in the present and appreciate every moment before you now. - +positive masters+, Jon Riki Karamatsu, 1/20/2020 - On Thursday, January 17, 2020, my mom called my cell phone. Her voice was filled with elation and joy, "Mia got the job at Stanford University!" My younger sister Mia is a trauma care doctor, a partner of a group of medical doctors at California Pacific Medical Center at San Francisco, California. "Oh man, I'm so happy! I'm so happy for her! This is awesome!" My voiced cracked with joyful laughter. My mom continued, "Earlier, I heard dad cheer, 'Wohoo!'...

Make it a point to spend time with your loved ones.

Make it a point to spend time with your loved ones. Don't let your career or personal interests dominate your life. Set a certain day of the week or month to meet with them. If you don't hear from your loved ones, make the effort to contact them. The moment before you now is precious. This time next year will not be the same. Even when you are extremely busy, you can still dedicate some time to talk to your loved ones on the phone or on the Internet. Your future self will be grateful for all the memories you create with them. For instance, every Sunday afternoon, I get-together with my mom, dad, younger sister, bother-in-law, and baby nephew...

Make time to be with the people you love. Every moment is precious.

Make time to be with the people you love. Every moment is precious. I dedicate my Sundays to be with my mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, and baby nephew. We video call my other sister, brother-in-law, and little nieces living in another State. Then, we have dinner at my parents' house or go out to eat at a restaurant. Also, when my parents babysit my nephew, if I have a meeting in the area, I stop by to spend time with them.

Start your day fresh! Every morning is a brand new day for you to crush it! 🌞

Start your day fresh! Every morning is a brand new day for you to crush it! 🌞⁠⁠I like to launch my day by being grateful for my existence. I also express my thanks for all my loved ones and all the good things I have in my life.

I also enjoy drinking coffee, but I usually have a cup of green tea first to get the L-theanine in my system. 🍵☕⁠⁠Next, I'll have breakfast and review my Google calendar....
