MEMENTO MORI, MEMENTO VIVERI
Until man remembers that a day will come when he will no more be able to breathe, when he will no longer have the opportunity to live, he will not remember to live. Death is not a curse, neither is it a deprivation, but it is a process of life, it is a definitive occurrence that must come upon everyone. Knowing that your time on earth is finite, and that your breath is borrowed, will spark the fire to truly live, and help others live truly.
Death is not the opposite of life, it is a transition into another life, a life that is infinite and endless. Death does not imprison, it liberates, it sets one free from the shackles of life, from the illusion of an endless tomorrow, and unrealistic expectations. It puts the life that you have lived on perpetual replay. A life well lived, will always be remembered for the impacts they have created, and their effects will continue to ripple in the lives of those who have been impacted.
Be the architect of your own days, not a spectator of it. Let the imminence of death carve the urgency to live into your bones; quit dimming your light to fit the dark rooms of others' expectations. Shatter the chains of doubts, and forge the swords of courage and confidence. Put away everything that limits your progress and enhancement, and dare to face even the things that scare you. Give your all to the things you earnestly desire, and build a legacy that echoes beyond your final breath.
Set aside every grudge, live with all men in peace, unity, and harmony. Let love always lead the way. Dance in the rain, sing with the birds, do not rush through life, and do not waste time on the irrelevancies of life. Do not live in fear of the end, but live with the end in view. Live as though every day would be your last, let your light shine bright, and let it light up others. Remember you must die, so remember to live.
To a better you, Kamikun John.
