Memento mori.

I think about my own death, or some disability, at about the same frequency.

What would I do if I lost my hearing, or my sight.

It is one of the reasons I try to live this life, instead of waiting for some future rewards in an uncertain afterlife.

Yes, I am not religious, and I think being religious has little to do with thinking about death. Death is the great equalizer.
