Tuesdays with Morrie

At the end of your life, do you want to withdraw or live? What about now?
The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. If the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it.
So many people walk around with a meaningless life. The way you get meaning is to devote yourself to loving others, your community, and creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.
If you really believed you are going to die, you would be more involved in your life.
There is nothing like family. Love each other or perish.
Fully embrace emotions and detach.
People want to go back to a younger age because their life is not fulfilling. If it is, you don’t want to go back.
You have to find what’s good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now
Offering others what you have to give will give satisfaction.
Do the things that come from your heart
Be fully present. When I am talking to you, I am thinking about you.
In marriage you need to respect each other. Compromise. Open discussion about what is going on. Common set of values.
Create a community of people you genuinely love
Be compassionate. And take responsibility for each other.
Forgive yourself and forgive others.
What would be your perfect day?
