What are YOU thinking?

Philip, the father of Alexander the Great, thought one way.

Louis XIV, thought differently.

Philip, a Macedonian, who probably lacked formal education and proper manners, thought “early and often” about his eventual death. In fact, he hired a servant to remind him DAILY of his mortality. The servants “job” was to utter these words each day…”Philip, you will die.”

France’s Louis XIV, thought differently.

During his reign he decreed that the word “death” not be SPOKEN in his presence.

Louis was and is not alone in his FEAR of death. According to research done by Don Brown, and covered in his book, Human Universals, we are all afraid of the same thing.

Death.

Yet most of spend little time thinking about our mortality. We hear countless motivational speakers tell us to “begin with the end in mind” or something like that, yet few of us really do. Especially regarding our END in mind. Why?
