Death - Unavoidable Truth

We all want to live forever, but that is not possible we will all die one day, and there is no running from it, you may try to avoid it but it will eventually come, it is in no hurry, it starts walking towards you as soon as you take birth and thinking of outrunning it is just foolish, you will get tired but death won't.

“It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.”

― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

There are so many things you want to do, but you always push back it for later, but what assurance do you have that you have a tomorrow, nobody can guarantee you that, death can come to you at any second, build yourself a fortress, lock yourself inside but death will still find you. So don't wait for what you want to do, do it now, say the words you want to say to the person you want to say it to, because there maybe no tomorrow.

“Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.

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. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

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 how it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.”

― Steve Jobs

He put it extremely well, but you don't need to actually die to have the same feeling. I want you to try something, i want you to imagine all the worst possible forms of death you can imagine, falling from heights, being eaten by an animal, getting shot at, getting beheaded, being stabbed to death over and over, etc. think all of possible deaths you can face and feel that moment and tell me at that moment did you do all that you wanted to do in your life.

“The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”

― Unknown

You should have no regrets in life, whenever you feel discouraged or afraid imagine that you are dying and think whether you will regret the action you didn't take, what is there to loose, you can always die with peace of mind. Always be prepared for death, leave nothing unsaid or undone which you could have done. The world might discourage you not to do something, but they won't regret saying that you, but you will regret listening to them and not doing what your heart wanted. Do what your heart wants.

Vishal you need to understand you are already THE VISHAL NAIR, just let go of your control and fear and you will realize your full potential and let the universe show your capability, because as the famous saying goes when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

This is my advice to you Vishal, follow your heart and always remember your life motive.

What if after you die God asks you:

So, How Was Heaven?

Prepare for one hell of an answer.
