What if you could no longer earn any money…
If you couldn’t go on vacations…
If you didn’t have to worry about retirement…
If you couldn’t find the best restaurant…
If you no longer even had to match your socks…
… what would you do?
We are so caught up in the petty concerns of being alive. But imagine if you were dead and you no longer felt compelled to chase after those distractions. What would you do?
Many of us would find some particular way to help the living. Looking down on the earth, there would be some problem or group of people who needed our help and since we had really nothing else to do–being dead–we would help them.
The sad news for many of us is that we would then feel more useful and purposeful in our deaths than in our lives. What a tragedy.
Do it now, offer your help while you have the chance.
If you want to be truly alive, live as though you were already dead.
