At the end of our lives, what do we desire most? For many, it’s simply comfort, respect, and love. Our emotions are automatic reactions to the experiences we go through, and what defines what we feel in a given situation is our own life history and our genetic makeup, which is shaped by evolution.
In the video below, from the YouTube channel ‘TED,’ a channel that features the best TED Conferences held by the world’s greatest thinkers, we see BJ Miller, an American doctor, author, and speaker, raising questions about how we approach death and honor life.
So, make it a habit to truly experience each stage of your day – whether it’s a meeting, a conversation with a friend, or the time to pick up your kids from school.
Be as attentive as possible to what is happening in that moment around you. The present is the only time that allows for our real action. It’s where life truly resides.
Stay aware of how you behave as well and ensure it aligns with what you intend to experience in your life.
