living life while anticipating death

In just a blink of an eye, we are now in the month of April 2019. I've noticed my thoughts of death and dying since last year. I really don't know how much time is allotted me and I realize that's not up to me to decide or plan.

However, I discovered a lesson in rather paradox perspective. As I anticipate death, I acknowledge that time is limited. I do feel a sense of urgency. Sometimes I wonder if this sense of urgency may be causing more stress than I need. How shall I balance motivation, drive and anxiety?

Due to my sense of limited time, I want to live a fruitful life. I life that I won't regret. Do I want to leave a legacy? Do I want to impact lives? And I do want to have deep, meaningful conversations and relationships.

Sometimes, I feel like I want to live my life as if today was my last, and that I will die tomorrow. Do I dare to live that life I want? My tomorrows may or may not be limited. Are there things that are holding me back? I realize i'm more adventurous now due to this mindset of wanting to live life to the full.

What are my values that I want to live by?
