The Importance of Dying

Good Morning People!!!

I had a dream last night that I was walking through a cemetery. Out of nowhere, a lady appeared. As she matched my stride, she spoke a question. She asked me if I was ready yet.

I responded in my head, “Ready for what?”

Still matching my stride, she countered with, “Ready for death.”

Looking at the lady now with a frown on my face, I replied, “I don’t think so, la—” but before I could finish getting the words out, she interrupted me by saying, “Start living then.”

I looked away to break her gaze, and when I looked back, she was no longer there. I sat for a while, pondering her statement. Then it dawned on me—I was actually doing both.

From that moment on, I chose to live a little more than I did the other.

Happy Hump Day, my Weekday Warriors! It feels like a little piece of heaven outside after last week’s cold weather—lol! It’s the perfect time to gather up all your favorite chili ingredients and get to crockin’.

And speaking of weather, your KC metro area forecast starts today in the low to mid-teens and rises to just above freezing. Your topic for today is “The Importance of Dying.”

No one can live forever. There will come a time when everyone you know passes on from this place—and that’s if you yourself don’t pass on first. So why is death so important?

Maybe it’s because no one knows what comes afterward. Maybe it’s because no one wants to let go of everything they know.

Well, listen up, People. Your whole life has been one transition after another, with one experience ending as another begins. Death teaches us to cherish those experiences. It also promises regret to those of us who don’t.

You see, death is our reminder that we are all on a time limit—and there is no time to be wasting on things that don’t bring our lives quality or value. So instead of spending so much time worrying about what’s in the afterlife, spend it on distancing yourself from the regret of not truly living in the current one.
