memento mori

Be your fullest expression!

Why would you hold back?  For whom?

One day you will face Death and you will look back on a Life where you held back, where you could have been more – but weren’t.

Will the comfort have been worth it?  Will it have been worth it to simply fit in with those around you?  To have not caused a stir or unsettled others?

To have slept those extra hours?  To have delayed?  To have stayed safe in hiding from your fears and insecurities?

Do not fear your greatness.  Do not get lost in the self-defeating stories you tell yourself.

Are the troubles you face so difficult?  Are they really so insurmountable?  Have others not conquered much taller tasks?  Don’t they still every day?  Why should you not do the same?

Your fears are senseless.  Your life is but a speck of dust on a speck of dust.  Earth has been here for four and a half billion years.  What is your life in view of that?  How big are your fears in view of that?

See them for what they are.  Your entire existence will be forgotten in a century.

Unless it isn’t.

Remember, Death is coming.  Memento Mori.
