I read this article today, “Five Remembrances,” and it really hit home for me during this practice of “A Year to Live.” We should all make these a part of our lives. In my opinion, it’s so true. The article also says to put these around your home so you can remember them and keep them in mind.

The Five Remembrances:

• I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.
• I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape having ill health.
• I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death.
• All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them.
• My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.
