Part 12: Reflect on Death

- Death is the best teacher, embrace it.

     - It puts things in perspective (big picture)

     - Why bother with small grudges?

     - Scarcity makes life precious

     - A dying person would envy your present. Would envy your normalcy

     - Death shows that everything can be changed in an instant. It is a promise that all good or bad will come to an end

- Death can come at any moment. At any moment, what you’re doing right now is how someone died.

     - Live life like every moment is the last b/c it very well could be

     - How are you living right now? Is that how you want to live? What priorities, thoughts, actions would change?

     - There’s no warning for death. You had all that time. Don’t ask for an extension. Why didn’t you use the time you were already given wisely?

- You can’t change life, only how you live your life

- The ultimate gift from life is the growth from experiencing it. Willingness to experience life events is what gives life meaning

     - Don’t be mistaken, doesn’t mean YOLO recklessness. Your desire to get special experiences is just you making up for missing out on life’s regular special moments.
