“We can harness the awareness of death to appreciate the fact that we
are alive, to encourage self-exploration, to clarify our values, to find
meaning, and to generate positive action. It is the impermanence of
life that gives us perspective. As we come in contact with life’s
precarious nature, we also come to appreciate its preciousness. Then we
don’t want to waste a minute. We want to enter our lives fully and use
them in a responsible way. Death is a good companion on the road to
living well and dying without regret.”
- Frank Ostaseski, from his book The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully
