These are the three things that feel like a fate worse than death to most people:
- The loss of dignity.
- The loss of agency.
- The loss of purpose.
- Loss of dignity is when you are no longer able to take care of yourself. You require constant assistance to make it through another day.
- Loss of agency means that you are no longer of sound mind and cannot make your own decisions on critical matters. This means that someone with a power-of-attorney will be making those decisions for you.
- Loss of purpose means you are doing nothing of meaning in your life, that is, nobody will miss you when you are gone.
These thoughts start to come up when you are in your 40s.
As you are seeing your parents or grandparents going through this process you start to wonder if this is how your future will turn out. Observing this, you tell yourself you will do anything to avoid it. So how do you intend to do that?
You should be asking yourself a few questions to maintain your dignity. What am I doing daily to maintain the ability to care for myself as I get older? What am I doing to address my poor eating habits, getting enough exercise, and doing something to control my stress? Do I see myself needing care in the future to just get by? When will I start taking responsibility for my wellness or will it take a medical scare before it gets my attention?
Regarding loss of agency, do you complain about all the responsibilities you have that seem to overwhelm you? You should be very careful regarding your mind set. What you are really doing is asking for all that responsibility to be taken away from you. As the law of attraction answers your request you are setting yourself up for the loss of agency. To turn this mindset around you need to start facing reality, accept responsibility willingly, and feel gratitude for the ability to do so. The alternative is to trust your family members to make decisions for you while having your best interest in mind. Would you even want to burden them with such a monumental responsibility? Could you even trust them with that?
And finally, do you have a sense of purpose in your life? If you are in your 40s or 50s, do you have a passion for doing something that contributes to the world? If not, you need to start right now. Having a passion will not only bring your gift of purpose to the world, but you will give you the incentive to do what it takes to maintain your dignity and agency.
CALL TO ACTION: Start your Self-Examination
- There are things people fear more than death, they involve missing your life.
- The ability to live a dignified life is in your control.
- If by mid-life, you are not taking care of yourself you are setting up those around you to take that burden on.
HOW IT WORKS: Your fate is in your hands. Refusing to take responsibility for your life is relinquishing your free will. Everyone, after they crossed over, who was a burden in their life, have told my coaching clients “this was their greatest regret.” From their now clear perspective, on the other side, they feel what it was like for those who carried their burden. For these departed people, the need to learn responsibility will linger as a lesson for another lifetime. So, while all this personal responsibility may seem impossible, boring, or annoying – it’s part of the consequences of being here. Death is no different than waking up from a dream, that’s because you don’t die … you awaken! So, make a plan, pace yourself, and you will surprise yourself. ~ Linda Deir

This insight triggers me. What do the Guides say about the following: I have been occupied with hospital and doctors to find the right treatment for the disease I have. Work issues have been pushed to the background. Now that the right treatment has been found, my work issues are coming back. I find it difficult to come into action if it comes to work related issues, and since I feel fit again, my impatience is bothering me. I feel like I am in a hurry but I do not know for what. The feeling of missing something hits me. That makes it hard to take action and responsibility. I have this feeling for a couple of years. Is it ego based?
Here’s what the Guides said about your conflicted feelings. After months of being entirely focused on regaining your health you are suddenly plunged back into your old life. It didn’t fulfill you then, and now that’s even more clear to you. Several years before this health setback happened you had been seeking answers to many disappointments. You learned a lot about yourself, your family, your work, along with what made you feel good. What made you feel good was independent of family and work. Viola, those years prepared you for where you are now. Your anxious feelings are a consequence of knowing all this. It’s notifying you that you don’t want to return to the life that made you feel in a hurry, making it hard to take action and responsibility. It’s a rebellious feeling not ego based. To sum this up, you are at a crossroads where you must decide. Decide to honor your true self going forward. You had a break from the obligations and now it’s time to get more honest with yourself about everything. That’s how you will find a whole new way of living and working. This is what’s missing.
Start writing about this and let yourself tell yourself the honest truth about all of this, as this is primetime to expose what your soul needs you to acknowledge. You will not be truly fulfilled until you can describe this to yourself. You need to know, and now is the perfect time to let yourself see it for yourself. You are aware and strong enough to do this without guilt taking over. However, if guilt does attempt to take over, write about that too, as writing about it will dilute it’s effect.
Thank you Linda and the Guides. This is clear and helpful – I am grateful ❤️
