Everyone knows that they are going to die but nobody believes it. If we did believe it we would do things differently.
Do what the Buddhists do. Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, "Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?" If you accept that you can die at any time - then you might not be as ambitious as you are. The things you spend so much time on - all this work you do --might not seemas important. You might have to make room for some more spiritual things. In my opinion, we are too involved in materialistic things, and they don't satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.
Once you learned how to die, you learn how to live.
