From Medical Xpress: While being aware of one’s own mortality can produce anxiety and fearfulness, a recent study found that mortality awareness can also have a positive impact. Pondering one’s death can be an important motivator to stay healthy, strive for spiritual growth, and work on leaving a legacy, whether it be by producing art, raising a family, or helping others.
