Only after truly experiencing the finality of life and death do we realize that all worldly desires and material cravings weigh nothing — lighter than a feather — compared to health and living well.
When you’re out and about, remember: don’t keep your eyes glued to your phone. Whether you’re in a crowd or walking down a back alley, take a moment to scan your surroundings as you go.
In everyday life, don’t get drawn into unnecessary conflicts. Mind your own business, don’t speak harsh words, and if you come across someone who is visibly on edge or highly agitated — avoid them if you can.
If life is treating you reasonably well, build your wealth quietly behind closed doors. Never flaunt what you have, and never eat a lavish meal in front of someone who is hungry.
When you have the time, run through emergency scenarios with your family — what to do if you encounter a dangerous person, a conflict, a fire, or any other sudden crisis. And I mean it: don’t assume you’ll figure it out in the moment. When something actually happens, 99.99% of people freeze up completely.
Just two days ago I was reminding readers: learn basic first aid, pick up some self-defense fundamentals, and stay reasonably fit — just in case. These things are genuinely, genuinely useful when it matters most.
I only wish for every fellow countryman, every brother and sister out there — stay safe, stay healthy. [warm embrace]
