Today!

Today!

We have four seasons to live – but three may already be gone. By starting each day as if it were our last, we remind ourselves of the fragility of life, helping us to become more compassionate. We remain human. We realize that if we die tomorrow, our material possessions do not go with us.

In the end, we only take with us what we give away – joy, happiness, impact. And if we give misery, this too is what we’ll take with us. Don’t wait until tomorrow to appreciate, to forgive, to laugh, to be happy, to serve. Tomorrow may not come.

Think of death – think of it often – think of it each and every day. Socrates said, “Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.” Imagine how intense and alive you would be if you live your life taking each day as if it is the only day you have and the only one that counts! There would be no time for past regrets or future worries. The Sufi poet Rumi says “die before you die” embodying the wisdom that lives each moment in totality, in its full measure. Then, when the moment ends, there is no pain, because living in the moment has been complete and absolute!
