Ruined by the End

What do days off, holidays, and vacations have in common? They are all ruined by that fact that they have to end. It's happened to me where I have a day off but I can't enjoy it because I know it's going to over eventually. I can't get that fact out of my mind that no mater how much fun I'm having it's going to end.

Sometimes the knowledge of an events ending prevents me from appreciating it. The fear of the future robs me of the present.

The scarier aspect of this comes when contemplating the end of life. Can death and the fear of it rob us of a meaningful and rich life? Only if we let it. I heard a saying once which goes like this

"Live life as a monument to to your soul."

So get working.
