As human beings, all of us know about dying.
Mortality is a part of our existence.
And it's no surprise to any of us that we can't live forever. In August of 1994, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. At first, learning that I have a life-threatening illness was devastating. But then I realized that I need to look - not at how to deal with dying, but with how to deal with living. If I look at all the mistakes I made throughout my life, each one of them indicated a time I was willing to risk.
