Yes, you are going to die. You are also going to pay your taxes, get a girlfriend, buy a house, travel, have crazy adventures, and do all the other boring, amazing, stupid, wonderful things people do.

I think it's a bit strange how people compare themselves and their lives to some imaginary metric, as if you need to get a certain number of points before the game ends. Sure, you can use strategy guides, wall bugs, and precise timing to win the prize as fast as you can with as high a score as you can. But the most important part of playing a game, much like living life, is not to win - it's to enjoy playing!

It's not silly to want to accomplish things and to work towards your goals right now. But don't let the eventuality of death be the reason you get off your butt. Make it that you just really want to get in the game and play.
