THIS IS A COPIED POST FROM A SOURCE NOT KNOWN AT THE TIME OF POSTING IT HERE ON TLF BLOG
*Die empty* 

 One of the most beautiful book to read is "Die Empty" by Todd Henry. 

 The author was inspired and got this idea of writing ​​this book while attending a business meeting. When the director asked the audience: "Where is the richest land in the world?" 

 One of the audience answered: "Oil-rich Gulf states."
Another added: "Diamond mines in Africa." 
Then the director said: "No it is the cemetery. 

 Yes, it is the richest land in the world, because millions of people have departed, "they have died" and they carried many valuable ideas that did not come to light and benefited others. It is all in the cemetery where they are buried." 

 Inspired by this answer, Todd Henry wrote his book "Die empty." 

 Where he did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities and turn them into something useful before it is too late. The most beautiful of what he said in his book is: 
"Do not go to your grave and carry inside you the best that you have. 

 *always choose to die empty*  

 The TRUE meaning of this expression, is to die empty of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it to the world, before you leave If you have an idea perform it. If you have a knowledge give it out. If you have a goal achieve it. Love, share and distribute, do not keep it inside. Shall we begin to give and remove and spread every atom of goodness inside us. 

 Start the race.... 

 *Die Empty*

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
