For a few seconds, my world came to a pause. I stood in e middle of the road where cars were fast approaching from all lanes. Panic engulfed me. My legs couldn’t move, my mind was blank. At tt very moment, I cld feel that everything’s gonna end n I would finally get e long sleep that I’ve always wanted. But sth strange happened. Cars slowed down and avoided me. I managed to safely cross to e other side of e road. It then hit me that I still have things to be done here on earth n it isn’t over till HE says it’s time to return to him.
"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
