Death (Extended Version)

In Leo Toy's Story famous book
The death of Irvin Illich
As he lay on his death bed with the question running through his mind
What if my whole life has been wrong?

Did I really live?
Did I really follow my passion?
Did I really give my all to the people
And the things that really matter to me?
Could I have given more?

When I reach the end I want to know with every fiber of my being
That I am ready to leave this earth
Ready because I always gave my everything
Ready because I never held back

Never held back my heart
Never held back my love
Never stopped myself from speaking my truth
And living the highest expression of myself
Never stopped myself from doing what was right
For fear of judgement or exclusion

I want to know that I am ready to go
Because I followed the right path
The right path for me
Ready to go because I followed my passion
Because I followed my purpose in life
Ready to go because I knew, I knew what was really important in my life
And I always put that first
Ready to go with pride
Because I always did right by others and right by myself

Wayne Dyer said, "Don't die with music still in you
Don't live with regrets
Follow your heart more than your head
Follow your intuition more than expectations of others
Love more than you judge
Hug more than you hate
Praise more than you blame
Be open to things beyond your level of understanding"

Detach from the outcome and trust everything will work out exactly how it is intended
Maybe not exactly as you planned as a human being
But perfectly for the evolution of you as a spiritual being
Go to the end with pride, with joy
Knowing you showed everyone how a human should live
Bless those around you by blessing yourself
Give those around you their gift by giving yourself that gift

This world is a blessing
Life is a miracle
Life is really what you make it
Live everyday like you are blessed
Live everyday as if you are grateful to simply be alive
Be happy no matter what happens
Life will be the amazing adventure that it's meant to be

When I reach the end I want to know with every fiber of my being
That I am ready to leave this earth
Ready because I always gave my everything
Ready because I never held back

Never held back my heart
Never held back my love
Never stopped myself from speaking my truth
And living the highest expression of myself
Never stopped myself from doing what was right
For fear of judgement or exclusion
Always fearless and knowing what is true to me is what is right
Where my heart goes and my intuition leads is the right direction
