Daily Encouragement

Posted on by SGI-USA Austin

An awareness of death enables us to live each day each moment—filled with appreciation for the unique opportunity we have to create something of our time on earth.

And confronting the reality of death actually enables us to bring unlimited creativity, courage and joy into each instant of our lives.
