From Carlos Castaneda's Don Juan's Teachings
"Death is always behind our left shoulder, but death is an ally because death reminds us to make our moments on this earth count. If we remember, our mortality can be a gift. If we realize that our days, our time, our moments on this plane are numbered, then we will lead more powerful and meaningful lives than we would otherwise. We won't waste our opportunities. We will spend our time and resources in ways that matter to us, that matter to the ones we love, that matter to the world and to the generations that come."
When I first read Carlos Castenada about 30 years ago, this one statement made more sense to me than anything else I had seen on the subject. I still haven't seen it said better. Anywhere.
