How can you get to a point where you feel guaranteed that you will be content with the Reaper's arrival, no matter when it happens? Well, that may take a bit of retrospection, a bit of diving into what you've done up until this point, how you can learn from all of it and take the steps to get closer to that point of contentment and peace.
