How do you define the word, 'die.' Do you mean when you are ready to die out of your physical body or do you mean when you are ready to let your ego die and be born into an unselfish, cosmic consciousness?
With regard to the first question, I am ready to die out of my physical body anytime they decide it's time. Who is 'they?' I know from the dreams that I got while meditating in a wonderful spiritual discipline that there really is no death in the absolute sense. When you die out of your physical body your consciousness moves into your second body (we have a number of bodies of decreasing density) and you arrive, with help from 'social workers' to that level, plane, world or heaven or whatever you want to call it. And then you have plenty to do there!
If you mean the second definition, then I personally have been drying out of my ego (selfishness) in slow stages for quite a while now. Gradualism is the keynote here. When he can learn how to consider the other person, the other people, the other country and put ourselves in their shoes, and then see their position as well as our own, we are finally in a state where we are ready to do some really creative thinking about who we really are. We are all connected whether we realize it or not, and we have been made in such a way that whatever we do will come back to us sooner or later. And that's how we all learn. So when our thinking and feeling becomes really global, we no longer think of ourselves as Americans, Frenchmen, Arabs, Jews, white, black or red men. We feel a basic kinship with all life. We are all in this wonderful boat together and the sooner we realize this and try to sincerely help each other to grow and develop, the better off we will be.

Nobody is truly "ready to die" even those with terminal illnesses are never fully prepared to leave all that is known to them and to enter the unknown of the after-life.
That is why I believe you must live each day as if it were your last, and to grab every opportunity b/c when we die, we don't say with our last dying breath "Damn I wish I worked more." or "I wish I didn't have so much fun with my loved ones." I don't want to die with regrets... and when you truly live each day... then you're ready to die at any moment...

I'm always ready to die. Death is always with us. No point in fearing it.

When I have accomplished all that I have set out to do. Or until I come to terms with the fact that I will never accoplish all that.
