Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
- Psalm 27:14
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

can’t be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you

there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is
good for you now, may be the very reason why you don’t have something
better.

He
will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not
deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our
iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is
his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from
the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
