When You Learn To Die, You Learn

When You Learn To Die, You Learn To Live.

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.

If We Can Remember The Feeling Of Love We Once Had, We Can Die Without Ever Going Away.

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.

The Best Way To Deal With That Is To Live In A Fully Conscious, Compassionate, Loving Way. Don't Wait Until You're On Your Deathbed To Recognize That This Is The Only Way To Live.
