Heya playa, all week long we've been talking about losing people around us, family, friends,
crushes, mentors but the one question we have to stop and ask ourselves is, what's going
to happen when we die?
How do we accept the fact that one day, we're no longer gonna be here?
I'm gonna cover that right after this.
For those of you that are new here, my name is Josh and every single Monday through Friday
I make videos sharing tips, ideas and stories teaching you how to be your best self, now
it's a simple fact of life.
One day we're going to die.
We don't know how we don't know when and we don't know why.
Thinking about your own death can actually raise a lot of different questions for you.
What's it actually going to feel like when you die?
Are you going to go to heaven or hell or are people going to remember you as a good person
once you're no longer here?
It's a scary thing to think about because no one really has a truly definitive answer.
And that uncertainty is what makes us feel unsettles.
The simple fact that we don't really know exactly what's gonna happen leaves us unnerved.
So if there's no definitive answers to any of those questions, how can anyone feel at
peace with the idea that one day they're going to die?
Shouldn't we all be frantic and worried that one day, that might be it?
I think if you're someone that carries that mindset, you're not really living in the present
moment.
You're always worried about what's going to happen next and you're never really enjoying
what you have right now.
Most of the time, we get so used to seeing the same people every single day that we don't
really practice that sense of gratitude for having them there in that moment.
We just kind of assume that things are going to be the same tomorrow, the same way that
you wake up in the morning knowing that the sun is going to rise, you don't really have
to think too much about whether it will, we feel that same sense when it comes to our
families, our friends, our school, our environment.
After a while, we get so used to the cycle that we start to feel invincible.
Like nothing can change in our lives.
Nothing can happen in a snap decision that can ultimately affect everything as we know
it.
Now I'm not telling you to spend every moment of every day constantly thinking about everyone
else.
That'll drive you crazy but it is important to recognize what you do have in this life,
the things that we do take for granted.
Our health, our education, our roof over our head, the fact that we can walk and talk and
breathe.
All these things are things that get overlooked and they really shouldn't be.
All it takes is a snap of a finger and things can just disappear from your life.
So how do you accept the fact that you are going to die?
Is everything you're doing, everything you're working for all for nothing?
Is it a waste of time because no matter how hard you try you're gonna die and it's not
really going to amount to anything?
I personally don't see it that way.
I think you have something special and unique that needs to be shared with the world.
You can be somebody great, all you have to do is apply yourself, put yourself out there,
change lives.
You have something to offer that no one else can so even if you're gonna die today, tomorrow,
next week, next year, whenever it may be, you can have an impact on someone else's life.
And you might not feel like you're at a place where your life and legacy can have a profound
impact on others, but trust me, it can.
So instead of worrying about what it's going to feel like when you die because when that
happens you're not really gonna know, it's just gonna kinda instantly cut off for you.
And instead of worrying about whether or not people are going to remember you as a positive
person once you die, you have control over how you live you life.
How you interact with others, how you speak to them, how you treat them, how you teach
them.
Put more positivity out into this world and offer that.
How people choose to remember you is how they choose to remember you but you have control
over your own decisions today.
I know that fear might still be there and that's why I wanted to talk to you guys about
it.
Are you afraid of dying?
What do you think happens when we die?
Leave your comments down below and let's talk about it.
On that note guys, thank you so much for watching.

We're all going to deal with loss at some point in our lives so it's better to be prepared.
