"For one who is born, death is certain; and for one who has died, birth is certain. Therefore, do not grieve over what is inevitable."

Practical application
Name the worst that could happen, then ask yourself: could I begin to handle it?
Reflection question
What would I do next if I knew I couldn't ultimately be diminished?
