No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. | |
And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as | |
it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s | |
change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but | |
someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. | |
Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. | |
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by | |
dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise | |
of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage | |
to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. | |
Everything else is secondary. |
