🤔 The Question That Changes Everything

– Monday Spark –

Why does the thought of death terrify you?

Strip away the philosophy. Get honest. What exactly are you afraid of losing?

✦ ✦ ✦

Is it something you already have?

That morning coffee ritual. Your child's laugh. The way sunlight hits your kitchen table at 3pm.

If you'd mourn losing it, why are you half-living it now? Why rush through between emails and obligations?

The things worth grieving are worth savoring.

✦ ✦ ✦

Or is it something you haven't started?

That book you'll write "someday." The trip you'll take "when things calm down." The conversation you'll have "when the timing's right."

If it's worth fearing death over, it's worth living for today.

✦ ✦ ✦

For most of us, it’s both:

Fear of losing what we love. Fear of never beginning what calls us. The beautiful terror of a life under-lived.

🔆 Invitation for Today 🔆

We can't escape death. But we can be undeniably alive.

Choose one thing you'd mourn losing — live it fuller today. Choose one thing you'd regret never starting — take one small step.

There's always a way, however seemingly small.
