But if you realize that the life that is here today is not certain on the morrow, then when you take your orders from your employer, and when you look at your parents, you have the sense that this may be the last time-so you cannot fail to become truly attentive to your employer and your parents."
What would be the one thing you could say to someone today that if tomorrow you were to perish, you would regret not saying it? What would be the one thing that if you did not do, you would regret it? What keeps you from doing those things? Is it fear or the idea that there is always time to do them later?
Do either of those things serve you?
When I tell people to meditate on death, I most assuredly get the argument that what you focus on expands. Where you put your intention manifests... Is this to mean that if we should not meditate on death, that death would not come?
Is today a great day to die?
What have you not done? Not said? Not finished? Will you ever complete your work here? Of course not. Your work is not designed to be completed. A legacy is only a template for the future generations to build upon.
Manifesting what is inevitable sounds daunting until you treat your life's magnificence as total and real and unavoidable as death. When your life is as great as your death...
It was once said that the warrior's main goal is to die with grace, honor, and glory.
I say, you must live that way in order to die that way, how else will you know how to die well if you have not practiced every day of your life? So say the things you will regret not having said. Love the people you would of regretted not having loved completely. Give so you never wish you'd have given more...
So that one day you can lay in corpse pose and surrender total to the inevitable. Your true completion.
How will you die?
Be purposeful in your answer and then live your life in the same manner.
From my beating heart to yours,
Aaron Huey
