The appreciation of life

Death reminds us of how fleeting life is. It makes us treasure those around us and helps us appreciate the gift of life which we so often take for granted. 

When people come close to death, they begin to understand more about how important it is to be alive. How much they haven't said. How less they have shown and allowed themselves to feel. We see things differently, but what lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. 

Our life is a matter of choices. If we live it well, things will be better. The goal isn't to live forever, but to create something that will.

Enjoy and appreciate life and the little things because one day you'll look back and realize those were the big things.

It's not what you do... but why you do it.
