“Live as if you died, but were resuscitated and every minute was a gift.”The Daily Stoic
In modern life, we often take our time for granted, assuming we have an unlimited supply of it. When we embrace the Stoic idea of living each moment as if it were a gift, we become more present and appreciative. For example, imagine waking up each morning with the mindset that every minute is precious - you may find yourself more inclined to savor moments with loved ones, pursue passions wholeheartedly, and let go of trivial worries.
So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12 speaks to the idea of valuing and making the most of our time, similar to the Stoic concept of viewing each moment as a gift. By seeking wisdom in how we use our time, we are encouraged to live purposefully and with intention, maximizing the moments we have been given.
