“To die at the zenith of your power, you must live as if you know you could die at any given moment. With Death riding on your shoulder, your life is naturally guided toward a set of principles: You don’t owe anyone. You don’t procrastinate. You don’t hold grudges. “Having debts or lingering resentments creates a drag on the spirit,” Barbara says, “and when you become aware of that, Death becomes an ally to help you live your best life. Knowing Death is coming soon is the greatest potential refinement of character we will ever have.”
