03. LIVE YOUR DAY FULLY

 

Recently, one of my friends died. He was a successful entrepreneur and a well-known person in the society. Yet, when he was resting on his deathbed, he worried about the life half-lived. Worried about not being a good husband and a father. Although he was rich, he died broken.  He was in his forties when he died. He left world with a half-lived life and a broken heart. My good friend, not only him, so many people die with a half-lived life. They just forget to live their days fully.

I have lived a half of my life.  Only a half is still to come. We will live for around 60 years. If you are 30 years old when reading this, you have about 30 more years to live. Only 360 months. 1460 weeks. Only about 11,000 days. So, life is not too long as you think. 30 years will run faster than you ever imagine. All of us will be resting on our deathbed. Personally, I am not willing to die with a half-lived life and a broken heart. It shall not be for me.

I am not willing to die as a great author or one of the richest men lived in this world. I will rather die as a man, who lived life fully and understood its secrets. Material objectives are important. But, living your life fully comes first. We are here for it.

So, think about the best way to live your day. Kiss your spouse. Hug your kids. Be kind to your parents and look after them. Be kind to your coworkers and subordinates. Go for a walk with your family. Travel world and have new experiences. Meditate for a while.

Live your day fully, since so many days are together is a life. So, what is the meaning of hatred and jealous? What is the meaning of holding rude things that done and said to you in your heart? No meaning at all. You are here to be noble and gain more knowledge of life. Sooner or later, all of us will be buried next to each other. We all will end up as dust.

There won’t be a second chance for you. A day passed cannot be lived again. It is gone. Days are gone means life is gone. Clock is ticking. Take actions right now. Live your day fully, before it is too late.
