FACING DEATH MEANS CHOOSING LIFE

Facing death involves a choice – we can choose to resist the movement of our lives or we can get on the train of life and allow it to carry us where we are meant to go. There can be no substitute for the clear purpose of heading toward the end of our lives with intention. Pointing ourselves toward where we are heading is not morbid, and does not mean we are dying to the life we are living. It means we are giving form to our existence and viewing with clear sight our present location, as well as our destination. We are not denying where we are heading and thereby shrouding ourselves in the fog of denial-which prevents us not only from seeing where we are going, but where we are currently at.
