Just the other day, someone asked me “how are you able to take death so easy?”
Without hesitation, I shared with them my experience with the death of many loved ones. All but one of my close loved ones (who passed away) died either during my birth month or their funeral was during my birth month. As I started counting on two hands the names of each person and reciting the dates, there was a silence.
Their deaths taught me that death is the only thing that is destined to happen during our lifetime. Nothing else is guaranteed but the reality that one day we will be no more, so what matters most is what we do while we are on this earth living and breathing the air of the universe.
Instead of allowing their deaths to be a downfall in my life, I decided to be motivated by their lives to live mine completely. When I meditate and pray, I think about them. When I prepare for another year of life, I think about them. I celebrate not only my life, but how my life has been influenced by them.
My Scorpio rising understands the importance of death and rebirth. There comes a time when something must die in order for something new to be reborn.
That’s how we win after losing.
