Philosophy.

Strip away the judgements that limit you, and embrace the awareness that frees you. Look through the eyes of philosophy.

Death.

"If you were to die today and leave many disappointed and broken, you have yet to wake up."



This a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson that i love very much, and it is this,

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know at least one life breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."


Stephen R. Covey said to imagine that you were to walk into a funeral and see the glum faces and look into the coffin and see that it is you in the coffin one week from now. When you have that perspective, would you spend your life the same way? How would you live your life? How would you treat others? What would you like those people in the funeral who say their words to describe your life say about you?

These are 2 sources that give me inspiration on how to live my life, but my words are about making sure we're responsible not to let down the people we should feel responsible for. People like our parents, our siblings, and anyone at all whose lives we affect positively. People who commit sucide are selfish cowards. I will say that much, because it takes more guts to face this world than leave it.

One thing, is to look out for the financial well being of our people. If we're financially responsible we can look after your people even after you're gone. It's the least we can do for the people we spent our lives with.


Would you be alright with dying tomorrow?
