Life is Too Short – Make the Best use of it

We read a lot of news and reports on a daily basis about people getting pounced, abused, killed, get into road accidents and lots more. Now the talk of the town is the “COVID 19” which does not seem to last. I thank the media for imbibing knowledge and information to us whilst we are living in today’s fast pace world.

You see people going on strike, politics everywhere even in your workplace. What’s worst is practicing social distancing now a days. While this is taken as a merit humans hate getting along with each other and here is where we need to revise our self.

life is short

A lot of hatred and anger among each other, conflicts taking place and at times I am in shock to realize whether I am in the dream world reading such shocking news that just sends shivers down my spine.

May Its time that we pause and think for a minute of who we are, how we were and where we come from.

The level of understanding and culture among each of is just deteriorating all due to our lifestyle and smartphones.

We live in this modern era with muddles and concerns but why do we need to take someone else’s muddle? Most of us are getting aged and time is flying.

Life’s too short and tomorrow is never guaranteed.  We all have to leave this earth one day. The ongoing COVID 19 has shaken most of us up and is certainly an eye opener. So, there is nothing that we need to be proud of as we all have to depart from this earth.

What we need is happiness, peace, and satisfaction at the end of the day. Most importantly what matters the most is helping people in times of trouble and allowing people to live and make their own choice. By the time your old and about to retire, you will just reminisce the past and think of it as those jolly good old days.

So do what makes you happy, be with those who make you smile, and love life.” Only when you’re happy, others can be happy. This in turn develops your personality and boosts your confidence level. When I wake up the first thing I do is stand in front of the mirror and love myself and say that “today I am going to have a good day”.

When we are having fun, time passes swiftly away. In contrast, when we have nothing to do, time hardly passes by. A second seems longer than a minute, a minute longer than an hour. However, 10 hours seem just 10 minutes when it’s fun, when we are engaged in something we enjoy doing. When we talk with a broader point of view, we say life is too short to live to the full if we are enjoying our life and still have millions of things we want to do but know we can’t because life’s just too short.

Life is full of challenges. Maybe we might not get what we want at the right time, we might have to slog a little to go that extra mile but “Patience is a virtue”. Life is to enjoy to the fullest and not live in dusk with pain, agony, rage and sorrows.  If we have a problem let’s fix it and find a solution to it. Remember in the end it’s not the years in your life that counts. It’s the life in your years.
