A cup of tea, with grim reaper by Steve, Adelina of Steve Pavlovna die come Some of you have asked that I post a copy of one of the speeches have given over the past year, so figured I'd go ahead. Had imposed one. This was These seven minute speech I gave to a toast masters audience a few months ago called a cup of tea with grim reaper the text alone. Won't give you a sense of the delivery and the gestures which is a big part of this speech, but the feedback I got suggested I Blue the delivery away. There are allowed out of ways to deliver a speech and I've been experimenting. Delivery methods to see what style works best. For me, I gave this one

bit too much Martin Luther King Jr, when it would have been better with a softer style like Sonya. She kept the speech project was supposed to be an appeal to the emotions, don't take the content as indicative of what I'll be doing professionally. This is a skill building project for me here it is a cup of tea, with the grim reaper, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but we're all going to die not now, but some day, eventually, we'll all be dead. I'm not making this up is actually going to happen. At some future time everyone in this room dead. So how do you think you'll go heart attack, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, stroke, perhaps being trampled by fleeing audience my prayers, Prince assassination. Then, when I die, it's an event maybe you can get my own holiday. Do you know how many People die every day. A hundred and fifty three thousand that's about two per second in the time it takes me give this speech

seven hundred people will lose their lives. Seven hundred If my assassin is here, death will claim our families are friends it will claim you and me are human existence. All of this is temporary death. An event that every one of us will have to experience everyone, the grim reaper, doesn't maintain a do, not kill. Lest what will happen. When we die either will cease to exist or will continue on in some form of afterlife. If part of us manages to endure after death, what part will it be? It won't be our physical bodies, those stay here, All our material possessions will remain behind as well even personal relief Ships will be uprooted if any part of us can possibly live on. It must be something beyond what we perceive with our physical senses. If we can see it here, it touch it smell. It. Tasted mid stays here

we're? All human beings to human will eventually die, but what of the being is there some part of us that will survive death? I do not know. I believe that there is, I have faith that there is even perceive some evidence that there is, but still I do not know I do not really know what lies beyond death until this body dies. The very nature of this puzzle prevents me from no the full truth in advance? And yet I cannot begin to fully live. Without having an answer. None of us can so were left with only one option or free will our freedom to choose what we believe we can choose to believe in oblivion, or we can choose to believe in person. If we ourselves are in permanent than our lives can be filled only with impermanence everything we create everything we are will turn to dust. Nothing of our beings will endure. There can be

no greater purpose for our lives. We can exist only for survival, a task at which we will ultimately fail, but if we live for what is permanent. Then, even throughout our moral existence, our lives will be infused with immortality are true beings. Never be lost? They can only be transformed. You see. The real question behind this choice is this? Is there a reason we exist? Does our human existence have a purpose, and if the answer is yes, then that purpose must come from the part of us that is permanent, because that which is mortal can provide. No purpose mid is only dust this one, the most deeply human choices we face. Do we live for what is temporary or do we live for what is permanent. Do we devote our lives to dust or to destiny? Some day our bodies will die our house say our life stories will see no new pages or life along we'll see no new pages written.

In the long run. All of this is dust. If we live or dust, then dust we become But when we choose to believe in our own permanence, we gain access The very reason we exist we come to know our purpose finally be living as the great spirit we truly are. Instead of the fragile shells which how's them see that nothing temporary can give our law I have some meaning only the permanent can and what is per it is, will resonate deeply with the great spirits inside US truth: compassion, honour, justice, peace, forgiveness, humility, courage, faith kind This love that immortal being gives meaning or human lives. So, while we go this in these moral bodies, we are not seduced by dust. Instead, we live for what is real and when our bodies die, some part of us survives. Mozart's body is dead, but his

music indoors, Martin Luther King Jr body is dead, but dream is alive, mother Teresa body is dead, but her gift of compassion is not dead. How many of the seven hundred people who died during the speech never embraced their own greatness. How many were obsessed with the accumulation of dust instead of the actual Alsatian? of destiny. The huge irony is that everything we acquire here in the physical world will be lost only that which we give. Our permanent selves has the power to endure In the end, it is also simple, yet we make it so complicated or give to the word maybe a song poem, a painting, a child, or these russian of an idea whose time has come. Each of these gifts contains Piece of our own permanence. These other vehicles, to which we give in

operation, creativity, empathy, not what is dust, but what is real, don't take your gift to the grave. Let your spirit expresses greatness, live for what is real and when you finally leave this world will be a peaceful transformation instead of a tragic realization, can live for what is real.
