Your Days Are Numbered...FACE IT!!!!


"I HAD REACHED THE POINT AT WHICH I WAS NOT AFRAID TO DIE. THIS SPIRIT MADE ME A FREEMAN IN FACT, WHILE I REMAINED A SLAVE IN FORM."
—Frederick Douglass

In the face of our inevitable mortality, we can do either of two things:

#1. ATTEMPT TO AVOID THE THOUGHT AT ALL COSTS, CLINGING TO THE ILLUSION THAT WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD.

#2. CONFRONT THIS REALITY, ACCEPT AND EVEN EMBRACE IT, CONVERTING OUR CONSCIOUSNESS OF DEATH INTO SOMETHING POSITIVE AND ACTIVE.

In Adopting Such A Fearless Philosophy, We Gain A Sense Of Proportion, Become Able To Separate What Is Petty From What Is Truly Important. What Really Counts From What Doesn't.
Knowing Our Days To Be Numbered, We Have A Sense Of Urgency And Mission. We Can Appreciate Life All The More For Its Impermanence And Transience.
For If We Can Overcome The Fear Of Death, Then There Is Nothing Left To Fear.



 And like STEVE JOBS put it....that year...when he was alive:

"LIVE EVERYDAY LIKE IT'S YOUR LAST...ONE DAY, YOU WILL BE RIGHT"

    cowards truly die several times before they death. the fear of death must be overcome but its inevitability must be accepted.
