How a person finishes out his/her life is as important as how one lives the entirety of it! Living is not the important thing -- but "living well" (not in the sense of living richly) is!
"Living well" means living for the right motives, with the right intentions, at the right pace, with the open vulnerability of thought and emotion, alongside the right people, behind all the people you know, to the right ends, in the right frame of mind, with the right calm, etc. We don't know the answers that are coming -- we don't know what the next stage of life will be, or can be, or should be. Even our "faith" (if we have such) cannot tell us that!
All we really know are the rewards that come with balance and focus; the results that spring from honest and love.
I sincerely hope I can finish my life in the manner in which I have lived it -- and let all the chips fall where they may.
