Four rules for living as preparation for eternity

The post presents four practical guidelines framed by the principle that present life prepares for the next. The first rule advises against going to places where one would not want to die. The second warns against speaking words one would not want as one's last.

The third cautions against wearing clothes in which one cannot pray. The fourth states the governing principle: because current life is preparation for the next, it must be used wisely. The text appears as a numbered list with no attribution to a specific saint or source.
