📖 Book II: The Brevity of Life
❓️1️⃣
How does remembering death change how you live?
Three moments remind me that life is fragile and never guaranteed:
1. My hospitalization – I woke up disoriented, struggling to remember current events as if I were still a teenager. My family feared losing me, and even after I stabilized, recovery was long and exhausting. That uncontrollable moment pushed me to take better care of my health and to rest, even with a demanding lifestyle. It also deepened my walk with Christ, because I realized life could have ended without warning.
2. A family member’s near loss – A freak accident nearly took one of my loved ones. We prepared for the worst, but through strong medical care, prayer, and the support of our church, they pulled through. That experience reminded me again of how quickly life can slip away, and how much we need each other.
3. The murder of Charlie Kirk – Hearing how his last moments were spent evangelizing, then suddenly being taken, struck me deeply. You never know the time, place, or hour. Life can end in a flash — and that truth has reshaped how I view each day.
Together, these experiences remind me that life is a gift, not a guarantee.

What thought pattern do you need to master?
Gratitude and forgiveness.
I need to brush off negative thoughts and stop carrying grudges. I don’t always know what others are going through, and even if they meant harm, why let them take up space in my mind or heart?
Mastering gratitude means being thankful for every breath, and forgiveness means refusing to waste time on bitterness.
