“Only by being prepared for your death can you ever truly live. ”

“If being prepared for death entails knowing when and where it will happen, the odds are you will not be prepared. Not only are you bound to die and leave this world; you are bound to leave it in such a precipitate fashion that the present significance of anything ― your relationships, your plans for the future, your hobbies, your possessions ― will appear to have been totally illusory.”

“Preparing for death is one of the most empowering things you can do. Thinking about death clarifies your life.”

“LIFE FOLLOWS DEATH AND DEATH FOLLOWS LIFE BUT NEVER IN THE SAME PLACE OR TIME SO THE ONLY WAY TO YOU CAN LIVE ON AFTER YOU DIE IS SIMPLY BEING THE BEST YOU CAN TODAY.”

“I prepare for death by living.”

“Why was it that the only choices that truly mattered were the ones you felt least prepare to make?”
