Summary

This quote suggests that the day of our death, which is often feared and seen as the end of everything, is actually just the beginning of a new and eternal existence. It implies that death should not be feared, but rather embraced as a transition into a timeless and limitless existence beyond the boundaries of our earthly life. This perspective encourages us to shift our mindset and see death as a new birth, allowing us to approach the end with a sense of acceptance and anticipation.

The leaders I met, whatever walk of life they were from, whatever institutions they were presiding over, always referred back to the same failure - something that happened to them that was personally difficult, even traumatic, something that made them feel that desperate sense of hitting bottom--as something they thought was almost a necessity. It's as if at that moment the iron entered their soul; that moment created the resilience that leaders need.
