was looking up tips on waking up refreshed, and came across this
17. Be grateful for not dying
The Buddha said that every time you go to bed you should consider that you won’t wake up. That way, when you wake up you will be especially grateful for the day you have ahead of you. Instead of seeing the day as a burden that you have to “get through” you will see it as an opportunity to do something meaningful and beneficial.
Why? Because you could die tonight.
When applied correctly this realization will bring you tremendous energy.
um. NO. If I went to bed thinking I might die in my sleep, would I get a wink? Not bloody likely. Though I do like the get out clause 'When applied correctly...'
