You are in control
Don’t waste time on the wrong things
Lately I have been thinking a lot about life and what I want to achieve in mine as the moment has come to choose what I want to become. Lots of thinking brought me to this conclusion.
We are all inordinately scared of dying and being gone and forgotten. It is the reason why we make up things like heaven and keep thinking that we are immortal. This might sound really dark and harsh but in the end we will all just die and a new generation will take over our roles in society, which is a incredibly good thing as it results in innovation.
So in short we will all die and be forgotten, even the guy we all look up to, Steve Jobs, will be forgotten over time. But we are all still fighting this fact. Which results in unhappiness as we are striving for something that we can’t accomplish. Some of you will now be thinking; “well, this doesn’t count for me, I am special.” But you are wrong, over time, you aren’t that much different than another ant.
Don’t cry
I am not saying this to make you depressive but I say this to make you realize that your time is limited, so live it! You should realize that you will be gone someday and you only have one shot to make it work. Now don’t think that sucks and be depressive, but try to do the things you love and stop repeatedly doing things you don’t like and don’t want to do. Set goals and try to achieve them no matter what. Instead of worrying about being forgotten you should start to worry about forgetting to do the things you love.
