Live So Fully, That You'll Die Empty

Live Fully, Die Empty!

I once heard that people have three principal fears. the first is the fear of death. The second is the fear of public speaking. The third is the fear of dying while giving a speech. The fear of death seems to be so universal and that is why many people dread the prospect of dying. For some the prospect or the discussion of death is a morbid subject that they would rather avoid. Well, I wish there was another way of getting out of this world which is not death. Regrettably, its the only way out as of now. All those that checked in at birth have to check out at death. That includes you and me. The real point is not whether you will die or not, but how you will die.

Used Up
If you will die decide to die fully used up. Use all the talent and potential that you have. Tap fully every muscle and idea. Die so used up that you will leave everything you brought into the world. The worst form of selfishness is dying with your talent, books, songs, ideas and potential still bound up in you.

The joy and feat of life is not self preservation. It is to be used up for some worthy purpose. To die so used up that in life you do not regret having passed through this way and in death you just fly on.

Worked Up
We learn that for the righteous death is entering a world of rest. So, why preserve your energy. Work! What will you do with eternal rest if you have been lazying and lounging around? Work is not a curse but a blessing.

Work every time that you are at work. Work is a great blessing. It is the channel of creation. It is our way of channel our energies into some worthy projects and occupations. Worthy work will always be rewarded.

Thought Up
The saddest thing one can do is to carry around a head for his time here on earth and fail to use that head for some useful thinking. When you die - your brain must admit that it was used up to think up, strategize up, plan up and visualize up. To live and not to think is the worst of brain abuse. Any abuse is bad - brain abuse is worst.

Live is full and is bountiful. Live to the full. This day is the tomorrow that you so raved about yesterday. The work of today cannot be redeemed by the efforts of tomorrow. If you will ever die - do so while living at your peak!
