Mortality? Some Thoughts

Hello! Greetings and salutations! If you're reading this, you (like me) woke up alive, on this side of the grave today - always a good start, I say. Every day that we're given life IS a literal gift/present, period.

Guess what?


You.
ME.
ALL living, breathing human beings WILL one day cease to live.
It is GUARANTEED - NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE.

"Why" indeed - you may be wondering what is wrong with me, why on earth I feel the need to make the specific point that Death is inevitable for all, and I'll tell you.
First, what I'm NOT trying to do: scare you, depress you, steal your Hope, none of that.
What I AM trying to do, though, dear Reader, is remind you (and myself) that our time here IS limited! That we won't live forever, there won't always be thousands or hundreds of chances to get things right; sometimes, there are no do-overs. 
So what I'd like to do is help you avoid living with regret. If we will be mindfully, deliberately aware of the fact that Time IS, in fact, in limited, measured supply for all in this life, that will hopefully usher each of us into more purposeful living.
That's all. 
Think about it; it's not about losing Hope, just about NOT wasting our Time (which none of us knows when it will end)!
