Yep, you are going to die, and you can't take your money or acheivements with you. I don't think anyone knows (for sure) what's going to happen to us when we die. I don't think it's important.
For me, a big part of the personal development thing, is that it's me becoming the person I want to be, who I choose to be, and I set the bar pretty high for myself. Yes, one day I will die and it will all be for nothing, so far as I know, but as I live, I'll know, I have in my mind what I seek for myself, what I strive for, to be.
On the flip side, someone once said, thought is like a little boat upon the sea, everybody is a part of everything anyway, you can have everything if you let yourself be.
How does letting yourself be, tie in with, striving to be the best person you can be, who you are?
