Spiritual Meditations
Accept Death to Prepare For Life
By Paulo Coelho

Become aware of your mission in this incarnation on Earth. Thinking about death will help you lead a more enhanced life.

I believe that this article will be read in about three minutes. Well, according to statistics, in those three minutes 300 people will die and other 620 will be born.

Maybe it took me half an hour to write it: I am focused on my computer, with books by my side, ideas in mind, cars passing by outside. Everything seems perfectly normal around me, however, during these 30 minutes, 3,000 people died and 6,200 have just seen light for the first time, the light of the world.

Where are these thousands of families who have just begun to mourn the loss of someone, or begun to laugh and smile at the arrival of a son, grandson, or brother? I stop and reflect for a moment; perhaps many of these deaths are occurring near the end of a long and painful illness, and some people are relieved to see that the Angel came to fetch them.

Moreover, without a doubt, hundreds of these children who have just been born will be abandoned at any moment and move into the statistics of death before I finish this text.

A simple statistic, which I just happened to look up — and suddenly I'm feeling these losses and these gains, these smiles and these tears.
