Everyone Knows They're Going To Die, But

The Most Important Thing In Life Is To Learn How To Give Out Love, And To Let It Come In.

It’s Natural To Die. The Fact That We Make Such A Big Hullabaloo Over It Is All Because We Don’t See Ourselves As Part Of Nature. We Think Because We’re Human We’re Something Above Nature.

Acceptance Is Not A Talent You Either Have Or Don't Have. It's A Learned Response. My Meditation Teacher Made A Great Point About The Difference Between A Reaction And A Response: You May Not Have Control Over Your Initial Reaction To Something, But You Can Decide What Your Response Will Be. You Don't Have To Be At The Mercy Of Your Emotions, And Acceptance Can Be Your First Step Toward Empowerment . . . For Me, Acceptance Has Been The Cornerstone To My Having An Emotionally Healthy Response To My Illness.

When You Learn To Die, You Learn To Live.

Well, The Truth Is, If You Really Listen To That Bird On Your Shoulder, If You Accept That You Can Die At Any Time–then You Might Not Be As Ambitious As You Are.
