View every new day as if it is your last...

"Amid hopes and cares, amid fears and passions, believe that every day that has dawned is your last. Gratefully will arrive to you another hour unhoped for." - Horace (Epicurean)

"You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think." - Marcus Aurelius

And what do you make of this?
"Everyone departs from life as if he had just been born." - Epicurus
Is this a view from the deathbed, when the life that is passing away appears impossibly brief? Or does this mean something else?
