"An awareness of one's mortality can lead you to wake up and live an authentic, meaningful life" - Bernie Siegel
Project 365: #61
This is where I go when I need to remember my mortality: the cemetery across the lake from us. It is a reminder that our problems on this earth are not insurmountable, and that we are only here for a short time. It is no use to mutter and moan about everything, but just get on with things. There are also always more people in a worse situation than ourselves. We need to live the best life we can, making the most of each day granted to us. Reminding myself every now and again does jolt me into really living in a more authentic and meaningful way!
