Understanding?
I think I realized why people DON'T live their lives as if they were going to die tomorrow. At least, why *I* don't, anyway. It's not because we're cowards, though some of us are. It's because we aren't dying and we're afraid of saying what we keep inside because we know we'll have to live with the outcome. And even if you feel like you're at the bottom of the barrel and you're desperate to be somewhere else, there's always somewhere you fear putting yourself more than where you are now.

Patience, and the moment to act.
