Face your death. Change your life.

A 4-week experiment to confront mortality, realign your priorities, and unlock what matters most—before it's too late.

Dare to Face Death

This is not therapy. It’s not a lecture. It’s a guided 4-week self-experiment that uses mortality awareness to jolt you into presence, alignment, and action.

Each week centers around a core theme:

Weekly Themes

Week 1: Mortality Mapping – See your life through the lens of death.

Week 2: Priority Calibration – Realign your time, energy, and attention.

Week 3: Legacy Strategy – Discover the impact you want to leave.

Week 4: Urgency Activation – Build momentum with your next steps.

Includes short exercises, reflection tools, and optional community.

Why Face Death on Purpose?

Most people wait until it's too late.

This experiment gives you the gift of clarity now.

You Will:

  • Stop drifting and make intentional choices.

  • Understand your true priorities.

  • Build habits with your future self in mind.

  • Feel more urgency, but less stress.

  • Reconnect to the people and values that matter.

"The version of you reading this right now is already dying. One day you'll be older, slower, and less capable. This is your chance to act while you still can."
