Two Great Words of Wisdom You Want to Internalize!

 

“There’s no greater way to make the most out of your limited moment in human life than to become a part of the equation that endlessly works to create solutions for human needs, even after you are gone.  As you know, you cannot be wise just by yourself, but you must learn from others with a better understanding than you.  It’s only after you have learned something from someone or others that you become aware of possibilities for a better future.  The greatest wisdom teachers are those who came earlier into life and learned how to manage themselves against challenges, and in most cases learned the hard way, which caused them to dig deep and access their creative powers in seeking for solutions.  Today, there’s a massive amount of wisdom left behind for you to utilize in getting your life forward.  You certainly have little reason to struggle against most life challenges, as you were left with an overflowing bank of wisdom.  It’s totally up to you to decide to either ignore or pay attention to a word from the wise of yesteryear. They left it all for us and I have made several picks to make my life manageable, and now there’s no looking back.”

 

Two Great Words of Wisdom You Want to Internalize!

 

On Christmas Eve, in December 2022, while attending a funeral of a fellow fallen hero, I found myself constantly drawn to some two key words of wisdom that I picked earlier from two great teachers of human development, who themselves are no longer in human life.  The two heavy weights are Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of several books, including The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, arguably my most influential teacher ever, and author of many books on human and spiritual development, such as Wishes Fulfilled, The Power of Intention etc.  Below are the two key words of wisdom that I have since internalized to give my life meaning, and how it all went during the funeral. 

 

1. Begin with the end in mind!

As the funeral proceedings progressed, with various speakers sharing their experience of the deceased, I couldn't help but imagine Habit 2 of Stephen Covey's book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, which states "Begin with the End in Mind".  These are words of encouragement set to encourage all in life to ponder over how they wish to be remembered, once they're no longer in life.  These Habit 2 words seeks to inspire everyone to commit to life in ways they would be happy to leave behind as notable legacy.

 

2. Don't die with your music still in you!

You've probably heard the saying "the graveyard is the richest place on Earth", which essentially alludes to the fact that many people die with their inner abilities and talents hugely neglected and never fully utilized.  It was with this in mind when Dr. Wayne Dyer tirelessly echoed the words "Don't die with your music still in you", in an attempt to inspire everyone to fully commit to life by engaging all their natural abilities.  “Your music" refers to possible life-changing contributions you can make if you allow yourself to genuinely engage your natural God-given abilities and talents within.

 

Just like most, I find death a hard to accept phenomenon, despite being an inevitable natural end-result.  However, I believe that a life lived on purpose, and with a clear mission to give value, often tags the deceased as a hero and hence changes the mental setting of those in grief from a state of mourning to that of celebration.

 

So, as the words "Begin with the end in mind" and "Don’t die with your music still in you", reverberated in my mind, I began to see clearly the efforts of my fallen hero while he was still in life.  Despite the fact he was still relatively young, and we all expected more years of service from him, and this making it even harder to accept his departure, I felt his death was more fitting for a celebration than grief and mourning.

 

Now, as your journey picks pace from the morning to the afternoon of your moment on Earth, I thought to share this experience to encourage you to make conscious contact with how you truly wish to be remembered at the end of your tenure in human life, and use this as a motivational factor to get you fully committed to your course in life.  Perhaps more importantly, I feel the idea of getting your music outside, as you engage in life-changing acts to make a difference, will allow you a memorable life experience.  Ultimately, making the transition will feel for you and your community a moment for celebration, despite the inevitable aura of sadness about it.

 

So, as you continue to strategize on best ways to make your moment in life count, I wish for you a great mental efficacy to help you make the most effective decisions.  Let these great words of wisdom serve as a compass to guide you toward what matters most in your life:

 

1. Begin with the end in mind!

2. Don't die with your music still in you!

 

P.S. Thank you so much for making a moment to read this and I hope you did make some value picks.
