greet the day
Almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
--Steve Jobs
...very well put, it's really too bad we don't enjoy what we have when we have it! always too busy trying to figure out what else we could have, why we don't have it and how we can go about getting it! what a complete waste of time. if you do nothing - always enjoy the people you are surrounded by; there will come a time they will not be around.
my niece explained to me that her biggest worry is that she is fat. okay so she's turning 13 and is nowhere near even chubby. why is that the biggest concern of a girl her age? i guess that's what comes of living in a world of excess. we have no basic needs to concern ourselves with any more. no fields to sow. we are living in a world of too much: too much time, too much food, too much money, too much things ... we are losing track at a rapid rate of what's important.
if you do anything today - take stock of what/who you really couldn't live without and act accordingly. admittedly, this is hard to remember every minute of every day but i try to remember this whenever i can.
