Death may not seem an inspiring thought. However, if we focus our life on fulfilling our potential and purpose by the time our life is over, we see that each day offers a unique opportunity. And we go through ilfe with a unique consciousness that causes us to make the most of each moment.
This reminds me of a story I love about Rabbi Zusya. He died and went to stand before God. As he waited for God to appear, he grew nervous thinking about his life and how little he had done. He began to imagine that God was going to ask him, “Why weren’t you Moses or why weren’t you Solomon or why weren’t you David?” But when God appeared, the rabbi was surprised. God simply asked, “Why weren’t you Zusya?”
Watch this short video by Reverend Michael Bernard, who describes the three most important days of your life: the day you are born, the day you discover your purpose and the day you die.
Then, focus on your daily chance to express your whole self and to fulfill you potential and purpose—to make the most of your life.
