That really puts life in perspective. Enlightenment, I suppose, is living every day as if it's your last. I wonder how to reach that mindset.

I don't know how. But one way I can think of is to not make any long-term plans.

All your plans and goals can be achieved in one day. You finish the day reaching your goals. You wake up next day, find yourself alive, you make new goals for that day only.

Rinse. Repeat.

Yeah I agree with this. I seem to have reached a point in life where I don't really think about the past and future often, but I wouldn't say I've quite reached enlightenment yet.

There seem to be a few paths, but if I were you I would stick to the ones expounded by the true spiritual geniuses of our species- Jesus and the Buddha. Maybe Mohammed- I don't know enough to say one way or the other.

Yes, I already meditate daily and have noticed profound changes in perspective and mindset. I can't recommend anything more!
