Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

James Dean
P.S. I really like this phase, makes lots of sense to me. You can see how impermanence
life is and I try to live each day perfectly as I can, one day at a time. As the matter of fact our spirit
will carry on from life after life, but our physical bodies will decay sooner than we think.
Of course it's easy to say but it's extremely difficult to prepare for death.
Wishing you all have a peaceful and tranquility mind.

Let us rise up and be thankful,
for if we didn't learn a lot today,

at least we didn't get sick,
and if we got sick,
at least we didn't die;
so, let us be thankful.

What is most essential to Buddhism is based on clarifying the mind.
If you want your mind to be clear, it is important to put opinions to rest.
If opinions are not stopped, then wrong and right are confused;
if the mind is not clear, reality and illusion are mixed up.
If you stop opinions and clear the mind, then reality and illusion are both
empty, wrong and right do not stand. "
