What does it mean to be alive

Hello Amazing!

When did you last think about death and when was the last time you had to explain to anyone what it means to die? When raising kids you are sometimes asked such questions.

While Mathias shares a story about the gift of being a parent, a takeaway for you is to ponder what does it mean to be alive. How to not regret the time spent between birth and death?

Whether you are afraid of dying or consider death as a way out from the hardships of life, this is a #reframe for you, amazing.

Life is to live.

"Because we simply cheated ourselves a whole way down the line. We thought of life by analogy with a journey with a pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end the thing was to get to that end success or whatever it is or maybe heaven after you’re there. But we missed the point the whole way along it was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or dance while the music was being played." - Alan Watts

Listen to the whole talk on Why life is not a Journey by Alan Watts. The background video was made from a stunning documentary movie "Voyage of Time" by Terrence Malick.

With Love
