This was the first thing I read when I woke up this morning (as I treated a nagging low BG). I have read it a few times throughout the day, and have read it 3 more times as I’m getting ready for bed tonight. I hope to absorb this message, let it really sink in. Let it soak through and weigh heavy in my heart. I’d like to live more like this. It’s a quote too good to keep to myself. You are already naked. How beautiful.
“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. ”
—Steve Jobs (1955-2011)
Co Founder Apple Inc.
