To live your life to the fullest

"Death is very likely the single best invention of life" -Steve Jobs

 

I read Sallie Tisdale's book 'At the Last Moment of Life'. Death itself is a word that I have been attracted to, but apart from my own taste, it is an excellent work that stands out with elegant sentences and deep insights from the author, as it won the Pushkart Literature Prize. Let's talk about seven things about life that I realized after reading this book. 

1. Don't worry that doesn't really necessary. 
Terminally ill patients will use their own time and cherish it when they realise that they don't have much time for themselves left. We waste a lot of time and energy in vain because we just forget the fact that we're going to die someday soon.

2. Immerse yourself in what's important to you.
If you are absorbed in what you are facing only at this moment, you will end up spend years without results. If you concentrate on rushing, you can't even get started what really important to your life. But what's important in our lives is not urgent, but important.

3. Let's be honest with my needs and feelings.
Let's live a life of one life as we want. If you have something to say, say it and try to get what you want to get. You don't have to live hiding your true desire. All the choices made by looking at other people's eyes left a emotional baggage regardless of the result.

4. Express your feelings to your loved ones
I thought about taking pictures and videos of my parents as I read books. There was almost no daily record of the people I love. I don't know when my life will end, but in the meantime I've misunderstood that death has nothing to do with me.

5. Always be confident
Let's always do anything with certainty. Whatever you do. If you think that you will die tomorrow and challenge what you did hesitantly and passively, you will challenge quickly, openly and vigorously. If you imagine that life is running out, there's nothing to be afraid of. 

6. Let's go on a trip whenever we have time.
Many people decide to travel if they can afford to do it later. However, not everyone can live to be 100. You should go travel whenever you have time if you want to have a variety of experiences in your life.

7. I am the master of my life.
I am responsible for everything that happens to me. In order to live with such a strong sense of responsibility, one must clearly recognize that I am the master of my life. If you want to live to the fullest without blaming others or the environment and always fulfill your responsibilities, you must live independently.

Death is one of my favorite themes. All human beings die, and I can't avoid it either. To worry about how to live well is to worry about how to die well. We can live a good life only when we know about good death. If you want to know how to live a prosperous life through death, I do recommend the book, "At the Last Moment of Life.", the masterpiece.
