Reflecting on life & death I always come back to this Steve Jobs quote. It’s one of the most positive messages ever, disguised as a somber message for the weak of mind/character.

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the 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."
