"Die Empty"- Don’t go to your grave with your best work inside of you

The most beautiful book to read is "Die Empty" by Todd Henry.

The author was inspired and got this idea of writing this book while attending a business meeting.

When the director asked the audience: "Where is the richest land in the world?"

One of the audience answered: "Oil-rich Gulf states."

Another added: "Diamond mines in Africa."

Then the director said: "No it is the Cemetery. Yes, it is the richest land in the world, because millions of people have departed/died and they carried many valuable ideas that did not come to light nor benefit others. It is all in the cemetery where they are buried."

Inspired by this answer, Todd Henry wrote his book, "Die empty .

The most beautiful of what he said in his book is: "Do not go to your grave and carry inside you the best that you have."

 Always choose to die empty.

The TRUE meaning of this expression, is to die empty of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it to the world, before you leave.

If you have an idea.... perform it.

If you have knowledge.... give it out.

If you have a goal.... achieve it.

Love, share and distribute, do not keep it inside.

Let’s begin to give. Remove and spread every atom of goodness inside us.

Start the race.............Let us Die Empty!!

You know why good ideas go to the grave? FEAR!!! Afraid of being screwed over. Afraid of people's opinions. Afraid of looking like an idiot. Afraid of failing. Afraid of dislikes. Afraid of pain and suffering. Its fearless people who make a difference in this world. You have to be fearless to find your full potential. Thanks for being fearless!
