An idea from Hagakure

“We all want to live. And in large part we make our logic according to what we like.” That is why the safe choice always sounds reasonable. Set your heart each morning and evening as though your body were already dead, and you can choose without that bias.

From Hagakure by Yamamoto Tsunetomo
