Never Take Your Loved Ones for Granted

It’s puzzling, but sometimes the people we love the most are the people we treat the worst. And it’s probably because we think that they’ll live forever.

But reality teaches us otherwise. Our loved ones will die, and we will die.

Never take your loved ones for granted. Instead, always treat them as if they were close to death, because in reality, death could come at any moment.

Treating your loved ones as if they were close to death will allow you to make every moment that you spend with them a moment to remember.

And when your loved ones do pass away, you will have known that you gave them your best while they were still living.

“Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.” ― Marcus Aurelius

“We should keep the dead before our eyes, and honor them as though still living.” ― Confucius

“While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.” ― Leonardo da Vinci
