“The more I peer into the darkness, the
brighter life gets, the quieter the world becomes, and the less unconscious
resistance I feel to, well, anything.”
(Mark Manson)
This is one of the hardest
things you will ever have to do, because human beings possess an innate terror
of death. We are the only animals (writes Manson) able to contemplate our own mortality
and it is all too easy to become obsessed with death terror, but paradoxically,
this leads us to waste the time we have. Only once we become comfortable with
death can we learn how to truly embrace the time we have.
And the only way to become comfortable with death is
to concentrate on the legacy you want to leave behind – how do you want the
world to have been changed by your presence. If you have good values, you want to leave the world better than you
found it. This means believing in something bigger than yourself, and working
to serve that something bigger. Some people find it in religion, others in
community, but the point is to find it, and let it change your perception of
death… to let it transform the way you view your life, said Manson.
Accept the
fact that you are going to die.
