Considering our own mortality is something that’s extraordinarily important in life. People often don’t take time to consider it enough because life goes by in a pretty quick clip. The more we don’t want to look at things that might be painful or difficult, the more we refuse to confront parts of ourselves that have extraordinary power to change, to make a difference. If there’s one thing that I want to get across to all of you, it’s that you can not step into or even contemplate the range of your power to do something good unless you consider the power to do something bad that exists in all of us.
