"Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life.
Now, take what's left and live it properly." ~ Marcus Aurelius
Imagine for a moment that your life is over. You have died. Look at the complete story, the finished picture and ask yourself..
What was best??
What was worst??
When was I happiest??
What did I give??
What did I withhold??
How could I have done better, done more for others??
What stopped me??
Did I live my dreams??
Fulfill my potential??
If not, why not??
Did I make a difference??
Have I left a gap in the world?? etc.
Now, remember that you are alive. You still have the chance to do it! I reckon that no one is really afraid of dying, but just afraid that when death comes they will not have really lived.
