Not many people are aware of the fact that death is the true teacher of the meaning of life. Death cannot be avoided. No one can escape it. Yet people are afraid of death. It is this very fear of death which makes people ruin their life.
It is important that you make the best out of life because death is surely going to have its day. Every living being has to die and it is a rule of nature which cannot be flouted. Life started running out the moment you were born so why not make the best use of whatever is left of it! If you think death is an enemy, it is a mistake because you and everyone else is fighting a battle they will inevitably lose.
The things that a person focuses on tend to play a very important role in his life. It is important to focus on life itself because if you focus on death, you will lose the beautiful chance called life. Take the focus away from death and you can live your life to the fullest. Consider death not as something to be afraid of. Consider death as a teacher and a catalyst that will enable you to enjoy life. It is only after you have lived your life to the fullest that you become ready to die. For a person who has enjoyed life, death does not remain a fear. It becomes the next stage of life, a new adventure waiting in a new world, in another dimension.
One of the best lessons of death is how to set your priorities. There are a number of things that you want to do but are not doing due to some reason. Once you are ready to accept death, you can start the prioritization of things you want to do before you die. It helps you strive to achieve your biggest aspirations, aspirations which may range from things like bungee jumping to tasting some of the most expensive wines. Aspirations like asking out that hot blonde in your office to starting your own company. The moment you accept the fact that time is limited and you are going to die anyway, you will realize what needs to be done and in what order.
Death is also a great teacher of perspective. There are so many people who think that they are working so hard for their family. The truth is that they are just becoming a bank account of family instead of becoming a member of the family. Death teaches you how to take the perspective of other people in to account because it will drive them after you are gone.
Truly, death is the greatest teacher of the art of living.
