Alive? Then Live.

Life begins when a person first realizes how soon it will end. – Marcelene Cox

This quote came across my Facebook page and I had to share.

Some people confuse the idea of being aware of one’s mortality with “focusing-on-the-negative” or “worrying about things you can’t control.”

It’s neither, if done properly.

Life is a wonderful thing.

Life is a finite thing.

When one accepts both of these things, and commits to living fully while alive, they focus-on-the-positive and control what they can.

We can control what we do while we’re alive.

Knowing that our time is finite gives us – if you choose to embrace the Truth of it – the context for taking action and making the most of the time we have.
