Embracing death

Defining success

All of us has intellect creatures tend to strive to leave a legacy from generation to generation. From the day we are born, we have this perception of traditions and expectations that surround us. Our biggest fear in life is not being successful and not being remembered for who we are. Leaving an ever lasting impression on our prodigy continues to be the focal point of our lives.

Just take a moment to realize that as individuals, how much we have truly achieved. It is astonishing that each individual has mustered up enough strength and courage to leave something behind so rare and valuable that it will continue to impact the future generations. The purpose of life is to embrace the idea that we will leave this world soon. But one must not fear death, but fear a live that is dominated by regret and remorse. Every human must understand that the purpose of life is to live it and let go of the fears that linger us back. Regardless of birth and death, we tend move between these two unknown spheres. As Alice Thomas Ellis puts it,

"Death is the last enemy: once we've got past that I think everything will be alright."
