An excerpt from: The Four Thoughts that Turn the Mind

When confronted with the reality of our own mortality, the negativity that often weighs on our minds starts to fade away. Our focus shifts to what truly matters.

Regrets about not being more ruthless, not lying enough, or not chasing fame and wealth harder start to seem insignificant. Those thoughts lose their hold on us.

Instead, we begin to reflect on the true meaning of our lives, asking ourselves if our past actions have had any real significance.

In these moments, our minds naturally gravitate towards compassion and positivity.

It's not something to fear, but rather an opportunity for introspection and personal growth.
