some chances have to be grasped at that moment.
sometimes people just needs to swallow and understand.
there are times i can only close my eyes and believe.
How can you ever be prepared to die?
"Do what the Buddhists do. Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, 'Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?"
Why not?
"Well, the truth is, if you really listen to that bird on your shoulder, if you accept that you can die at any time - then you might not be as ambitious as you are."
I forced a small grin.
"The things you spend so much time on - all the work you do - might not seem as important. You might have to make room for some more spiritual things."
Well, I said.
"Even I don't know what 'spritual development' really means. But I do know we're deficient in some way. We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don't satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted."
