About This Quote
Awareness of mortality exerts a unique power to focus mind and heart on essentials. In other words, awareness of death focuses our minds and hearts on the things that matter most in life. When we face death, we can better appreciate what is important to us. We can see the value of time spent with family and friends.
We no longer waste our time being angry or upset about things that do not matter. We can learn to let go of things that are not important. We will be able to appreciate the gift of life itself, which is immortal.
