Choose your thoughts carefully.
Follow the ways of your mind and how the thoughts flow...

Start each day with the thought, 'I may die today', for that is a fact.
Far from being a morbid thought, it's quite empowering and uplifting. To face the reality of our mortality is to face life fully, wherever it may lead us.

Disagree with you Bode, that starting the day thinking you might die that day will free someone from being emotionally crippled.
Death is a given. No need to dwell on it everyday.
When you climb those rock walls I doubt you are thinking you might die. Isn't it better to think like the little red caboose....I think I can.....I think I can.....I know I can

It's not about dwelling on it, it's about realisation and acceptance.
It frees from fear and helps you focus on life in the moment, it's a well used Buddhist meditation.

I agree but I don't think when you're in that moment you need to think that in the next moment you might die.
Eckart Tollee would never suggest thinking like that.

I think Tolle acknowledges the positive benefit in that meditation, I'm sure he mentions it in New Earth.

To further my practice of meditation, I started reading “Modern Buddhism: The Path of Compassion and Wisdom” a couple of days ago.
Last night, I was about to put the book down and go to sleep when I came across this passage:
“The mind that thinks every day ‘I shall not die today’ is deceptive—it leads us in the wrong direction and causes our human life to become empty. On the other hand, through meditating on death, we shall gradually replace the deceptive thought ‘I shall not die today’ with the nondeceptive thought ‘I may die today.’ The mind that spontaneously thinks each and every day ‘I may die today’ is the realization of death. It is this realization that directly eliminates our laziness of attachment and opens the door to the spiritual path.”
Wow! I stopped right there and put the book away so I could think about what I had just read. I closed my eyes and mentally said to myself, “I may die today.” All of a sudden my mindset changed. I wanted to tell my husband how much I loved and appreciated him. I wanted to savor the comfort of my bed. I wanted to feel the closeness of my dog sleeping next to me.
By changing my thoughts from “I shall not die” to “I might die,” I had altered my whole attitude.
When I woke this morning, I tried it again. During my meditation, I said to myself, “I may die today.” It worked like magic. My coffee tasted better. I listened intently to the birds singing outside my door enjoying seed from the feeders. I enjoyed watching the five kittens in my house just frolic and play with each other. I can already tell it’s something I’ll be saying to myself every day, to remind me that life is finite and we must live in the present instead of worrying about the future or agonizing over the past.
Try it yourself. Just say, “I may die today,” and see how much the world changes around you.

Randy322: I'm not delusional, I've my motives
"Delusion refers to belief in something that contradicts reality. In Buddhism, delusion is ... a lack of awareness of the true nature or Buddha nature of things, or of the true meaning of existence. "According to the Buddhist outlook, we are deluded by our senses-- among which intellect (discriminating, discursive thought) is included as a sixth sense. Consciousness, attached to the senses, leads us into error by causing us to take the world of appearances for the world of reality, whereas in fact it is only a limited and fleeting aspect of reality." (The Shambhala Dictionary of Buddhism and Zen.)
A mental factor that arises from inappropriate attention and functions to make the mind unpeaceful and uncontrolled. There are three main delusions: ignorance, desirous attachment and anger. From these arise all other delusions, such as jealousy, pride and deluded doubt.

'The true meaning of existence' is different for different people, one should not put the word of Buddha above all others. I don't think I'm delusional for wanting an eye for an eye in some cases. To deny feelings of anger and or jealousy would be to ask someone not to be human. Sometimes is ok to be angry and let it out, otherwise it will build up and explote someday.

Almost everyone suffers delusions, in the Buddhist sense of the word.
Anger is one of them, to release anger you have to acknowledge it, accept it's there and try to understand why it's there.
"Letting it out" doesn't get rid of it, more likely you will just project it onto to someone else. Usually when anger is displayed, or acted upon, the situation only becomes inflamed.
Anger is not like a balloon, it's a negative energy, it doesn't dissipate when the energy is released suddenly, anger needs to be calmed not suddenly released.
