“I’m glad I did this before I die,” I find myself thinking every so often when I realize I’ve done something meaningful. These moments may seem small, but they are profound reminders that life is fleeting and death could be just around the corner.
This moment of reflection helps me appreciate the ability to do anything at all, knowing that each day might be my last. When I can say, “I’m glad I did this,” it feels like a celebration of life, a recognition of making the most of the time I have.
I’m ready to die anytime, every day. Of course, I hope to live as long as possible, but I won’t harbor regrets if today is my end. I’ve had countless moments of appreciation for what I’ve achieved. In this way, I’m prepared, embracing whatever comes with a heart full of gratitude for the days I’ve lived. That’s how I can be brave.
