"Ichi-nichi issho: 'Each day is a lifetime.' We arise in the morning newly born. As we pass through the day, we age and gain experience. When we tire at day's end, we 'die' and take our rest. That one arc serves as a miniature of our entire life. What we do during a single day- and how we do it- becomes the foundation of our whole lifetime. For what is life but the sum of our days?
This very day can be a life's turning point. In a single moment we can decide to walk the path that has no end.
Starting now.
Let the day begin." - from Zen 24/7 by Philip Toshio Sudo
On Wednesday Oct 5th 2011 Steve Jobs passed away. In many articles I have read about him the idea of living each day as your last day is mentioned. He lived the way of the Ichi-nichi issho.
Today's question is:
"What changes do you need to make to live the Ichi-nichi issho way?"
