Always Go To Sleep And Die

Here is a thought I have found useful lately:

Each day, before you go to sleep, be willing to die.

Be okay with it. Content with your day’s work and all that you’ve done before. Do not go to sleep without accepting death. Learn to let go. However hard it may seem, remind yourself that you could die and that, if you do, there is nothing you can do about it.

Accept what is worrying you. Accept yourself. See things for what they are, with the correct perspective. The thought of Death usually helps with that. Practice full acceptance and letting go.

If you wake up, be grateful. Be grateful for more time. For another shot at improving, at being better that you were yesterday and living fully.

Die and be born each night. Be like the sun. Birth. Death. Natural parts of Life. An unending cycle. You are part of it, accept it, welcome it.

If you cling to Life without accepting Death, ask yourself: Am I holding on to this?

If you think this way, gratitude is inevitable, complaining is out of the question, and you will be more fulfilled.

As you go to sleep, die.
Then, if you wake up, be born.

Keep Death close.
