From It's All In Your Head by Stephen Pollan and Mark Levine:
If you embrace time, if you adopt the attitude that the 
passage of time is wonderful, your life will improve. If you think your career will keep improving, you'll look forward to work each morning. If you feel your financial life will keep getting better, you'll relish all you do have. If you keep looking forward to tomorrow, every day you're alive will be better than the day before.
View the passage of time positively and you'll even make death a non-event; you'll spend your life actually living rather than just surviving. Michel de Montaigne wrote, "I want Death to find me planting my cabbages, neither worrying about it nor the unfinished garden."
