I find that it’s an immense source of energy to place my mind in my dying self and seeing what he is regretful/proud of; that way I can focus on doing something supposedly “unpleasant” in the here and now.
When I consider life this way, inertia actually becomes uncomfortable. The issue is no longer a matter of stepping outside my comfort zone, but simply a matter of executing actions in my truest frame of mind, because it becomes crystal clear that there is no time to waste.
That’s actually a really interesting way to think about things. It helps us separate the small stuff from what really matters and gives us clarity.
I know, right? Death doesn’t always have to a downer. If it’s inevitable, why not use it as a positive? 🙂
Yup! I’ve had many people around me, either from religion or their own reasoning, tell me that death is a horrible thing that steals away life and what not. But I’ve always seen death as a refresh. I think the only ones of us who are afraid of it are the ones who haven’t lived yet.
I get tired just reading your work. I wonder are you really such a dynamo, or are you secretly a fellow slug. Can’t.. type.. husband holding out…icecream…
Try icecream, or chocolate and you won’t care if you shut down. Then again for me the sanity boat sailed off long ago. Join me waving from the jetty “Bye bye rational mind” mmm chocolate!
