RE: You’re Going to Die Pretty Soon So Do The Important Stuff Now

in #motivation7 years ago

This is inspiring indeed, until we start to be believing in this manner, we will not be void of procrastination.
There is nothing to celebrate about age increment, it's a pointer that we have so little more time to spend here on earth.

Thanks for the beautiful piece, you sound like a psychologist.....

Well that’s incredibly kind of you, thanks!

It always seemed, at least to me, that this type of thinking is useful because if it’s universality. No matter what someone believes occurs (or doesn’t occur) after this life, it doesn’t change the fact that this is the only “this life” anybody has, so it’s pretty important to squeeze all the meaning out of it possible, and right now.

My particular cultural tradition has an old saying that every person needs to make sure to receive forgiveness and do only good things the day before their death.

This concept has a very reasonable built-in question, which is pretty obvious, as well as a beautifully intrinsic answer, which is equally as obvious.

Thanks again for the nice reply and engagement!

I love that believe of your culture, we have something similar in my culture too. We believe that whatever you do before you die would be used for or against you in judgement, but it can only work excellently well if we all know when it is our turn to depart from earth... Lol

The simple truth is that, we should make the best use of our time here, no need to wait that long before we do things right.

Thanks once more
