It's your last day
Imagine that you are going to die in 12 hours. What are you going to do in your last 12 hours? What would you say to your friends and family members? What would you do when someone makes you angry? How will you live your last day?
Chances are your response will be different than a normal day.
This question directs your attention to your last 12 hours and demands you to take actions that truly matters to you. Money and pleasure seemed secondary compared appreciating and saying thank you to your loved ones. You are going to leave behind all the possessions that you thought it matters. You are born with nothing, and you will leave with nothing.
What can you do?
Truly ask yourself the question first thing in the morning. When I say truly, it doesn't mean asking the question for the sake of asking it. Invest your time and emotion into answering the question. Notice what comes into your mind, those should be the things that truly matter to you. Notice the emotions you feel, are you regretting what you have done in the past, or realised what you have been doing is a waste of time. Notice what you do after you answer the question, this speaks greatly about your readiness and commitment.

"Actually,it's a philosophy about life .when you adopt a death bed mentality you live everyday as if it were your last.Imagine waking up everyday and asking yourself a simple question "what would i do today,if it was my last?" then think about how you treat your family,your colleagues and even those who you don't know.Think about how productive and excited you would be to live every moment to the maximum.The deathbed question alone has the power to change your life.It will energize your days and bring a rush of zest and spirit to all that you do.you will start focusing on all the meaning full things that you have been putting of and stop squandering time on all those petty things that have dragged you down into the quagmire of crisis and chaos
