It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
