Q: A new study found that people were more motivated and successful when they envisioned this?

A: Their own death

There’s a morbid new study out of the University of Arizona that found that people were more motivated and successful in what they were doing when they envisioned their OWN DEATH.

The researchers say that when you think about dying, you subconsciously think about the LEGACY you’ll leave behind when you’re gone . . . and that REALLY motivates you.
