Suppose this is your last day. Then what will be the first thing or wish that will come to your mind? Obviously, that I could live more days and spend more quality time with my loved ones. Right? So, why so much stress and pain? Think again.
Our whole life just goes around seeking more of things that we have and for things we don’t have. That’s where we forget the most precious gift we have, that is “Life”. This life is a gift in itself, life around and within us.
There is a great saying I remember, “Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life”. Generally, nowadays life seems like a race track. Everyone is running and when they look back, then they realize “I forgot to live”.
“Many people die at twenty-five and aren’t buried until they are seventy-five” claimed Benjamin Franklin once. People get too busy defining their success that they forget the real meaning of life.
What Will Really Matter At Last
Our biggest mistake is that we live as if we are immortal, so we keep wasting our time on the things that will not matter in life. So, make you life worthwhile and live as if you were to die tomorrow.
First and foremost thing that will matter is your health, we generally don’t realize the value of health until we get sick or go through some health issues. So, we should always be blessed for our health, this body, it’s the biggest gift one can have. We should look after and nurture it well, because without proper health there is no value for rest of the things.
Secondly, family and loved ones, these are the people who will always be there no matter what happens in your life. So, be with them who accept you for “who you are”, not with them who love you only for your thinking and their needs. Few people are good enough, whom you trust and share a strong bond.
As they say, ”Making a hundred friends is not a miracle. The miracle is to make a single friend who will stand by your side even when hundreds are against you”. This quote explains it very well.
Thirdly, we need to discover and know ourselves, what we want to do in this life, our purpose behind it that motivates us till the end of our life from which we don’t need to escape. Everyday will be full of excitement and feeling of passion for that thing. So, introspection is needed because you can’t end it up living someone else’s life.
Live Life Like It’s Meant To
So, as you see there’s a lot to life than just work and money and other materialistic things. Because at the end there will be no value of it. So make your life full of memories and love not only about things and money.
Always be blessed and grateful for what you have rather than complaining for the little things because many people dream of what you have and the kind of life you got. As many say, count your blessings, this is actually the way to feel and realize how blessed “you” are.
And never take things for granted, even the little things in your life count as a great value. We generally don’t realize it until it’s gone or is taken away from us.
So, revel in the things and people that you already got. And really know their worth. And don't stress too much about life. After all, life is just a fleeting shadow in the grand scheme of things right?
Yours
Happy Soul
