An idea from Hagakure

“Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily.” While calm, picture being torn by arrows, swept off by waves, burned, struck by lightning, or falling from a cliff. “And every day without fail one should consider himself as dead.”

From Hagakure by Yamamoto Tsunetomo
