Is life really short?
It’s fact that your clock has been triggered, you can neither pause nor rewind it back. You can neither escalated nor deescalated time you power lies only making use of it. People keep on complaining that life is short and live it before it ends
I believe it’s not that we have a short life to live but that we waste much of it. Life is long enough and it has been given us in generous measure for accomplishing the greatest things if the whole of it is well invested.
How much our time is devoted to the things which don’t contribute to you goals, we spend time gossiping, going on Facebook, Instagram, unconsciously watching TV, constantly fighting with your spouse and partner on stupid things and doing our meaning less duty feeling like we must do. We actually don’t have to do most of the things we do, but now add up all those hours and you will find out you had plenty of time. All that hours could have helped us lived a greater and meaning full life instead now we complaint on shortness of life.
There is nothing more valuable than our time, we should be really greedy for our time. Let’s say you dedicated an hour talking to your friend, who wants to bitch about how he hates work. Now what are you giving up for doing that, well could have dedicated that time in more productive and meaningful which you actually enjoy like reading, writing , spending time with our family or meet friend from whom you can learn from which will add more happiness and meaning to my life.
Because when you are dying you are not going to look back and say I’m so happy that I gave time to everything who wanted to bitch and complaint about something and I listen to some rumours which didn’t mattered anything to me.
We must be especially careful in choosing people, and deciding whether they are worth devoting a part of our lives to them, whether the sacrifice of our time makes a difference to them.
Don’t not leave your social circle to chance instead choose whom do you want to spend time.
So let all your activity be directed to some object, let it have some end in view.
Stop being generous with your time, suppose you are 25 years old now and if you lived till 60 years that like 35 more years that is so much time. You could do the most unbelievable things in 35 years but there will be someone at aged 60 who will say you have no idea how fast time flies by there is no time to do anything and I agree to it that 35 years are not enough if you spend 32 years in doing something which had no value attached to it.
“So you must not think a man lived long because he has white hair and wrinkles he has not lived long just existed long”- Seneca
If you lived till 60 years without taking any risk no highs no lows you are not really living just existed. You can die at 30 and live a long life or lived till 60 years and lived no life.
Use your time wisely and be greedy towards it.
Thank you.
