If someone could remind you of all the insignificance of the things that you cling to, death takes if all away in a second. While people can teach you that men and women of all races are equal and that there is no difference between the rich and the poor, death instantly makes us all the same.
The question is, are you going to wait until the last moment to let death be your teacher?
There mere possibility of death has the power to teach at any moment. A wise person realizes that at any moment they may breathe out, and the breath may not come back in. A wise person completely and totally embraces the reality, the inevitability, and the unpredictability of death.
At any time, you’re are having trouble with something, think of death.
It shouldn’t take death to challenge you to live at your highest level.
How much love would you give to the ones you love, knowing it would be the last time you’d get to be with them? Think about what it would be like if you lived like that every moment with everyone. Your life would be really different. You should contemplate this. Death is not a morbid thought. Death is the greatest teacher in all of life.
Michael Singer – The Untethered Soul
My thoughts – Always want the ones you really love, to be happy and only offer them kindness in their world, to be who they must be, to live their lives to the highest level. For they only want the same for you.
