Understanding

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.’ - Steve Jobs

I suggest a more powerful way - the spiritual way of Understanding (Jnana Yoga). 

Recognize that you - your true essence (I am or Self or aware Presence) - is eternal, universal, and not limited or located in a personal body-mind. And therefore does not suffer the destiny of that which dies.
