    “We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.” ~ Richard Dawkins

        What is our biggest fear?

        Picture Quote Text:

        “I discovered that people are not really afraid of dying; they’re afraid of not ever having lived, not ever having deeply considered their life’s higher purpose, and not ever having stepped into that purpose and at least tried to make a difference in this world.” ~ Joseph Jaworski, Synchronicity

          “A man is born gentle and weak. At death, he is hard and stiff. Green plants are tender and filled with sap. At death, they are withered and dry. Therefore, the stiff and unbending is the disciple of death, and the gentle and yielding is the disciple of life.” ~ Lao Tzu

            “When you were born you were crying and everyone else was smiling. Live your life so at the end, your’re the one who is smiling and everyone else is crying.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

              “When it comes time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived. ” ~ Henry David Thoreau

              She is Gone!

                You can shed tears that she is gone,

                or you can smile because she has lived.

                You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back,

                or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left.

                Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,

                or you can be full of the love you shared.

                You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,

                or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

                You can remember her only that she is gone,

                or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.

                You can cry and close your mind,

                be empty and turn your back.

                Or you can do what she’d want:

                smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

                ~ David Harkins

                  ‎"Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left, and live it properly." ~ Marcus Aurelius

                    We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

                      “If physical death is the price that I must pay to free my white brothers and sisters from a permanent death of the spirit, then nothing can be more redemptive.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

                        You only live once? False. You live everyday. You only die once.

                          ‎”The wealthiest places on Earth are cemeteries. The dead lying in those graves had dreams and desires that will never be fulfilled, businesses that weren’t started and relationships that never were formed.  It is up to us not to bury that potential we have.” – Bill Rancic

                            “I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.” ~ Dawna Markova

                              “I know this now.  Every man gives his life to what he believes.  Every woman gives her life for what she believes.  Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, and so they give their lives to little or nothing…” ~ Joan of Arc

                              Kimo’s Hawaiian Rules

                                Never judge a day by the weather

                                The best things in life aren’t things

                                Tell the truth – there’s less to remember

                                Speak softly and wear a loud shirt

                                Goals are deceptive – the unaimed arrow never misses

                                He who dies with the most toys – still dies

                                Age is relative – when you’re over the hill, you pick up speed

                                There are two ways to be rich – make more or desire less

                                Beauty is internal – looks mean nothing

                                No Rain – No Rainbows

                                  “For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’  And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something… Almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.  Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.” ~ Steve Jobs

                                    “Live every day like it’s your last because one day you’re gonna be right.” ~ Ray Charles
