So I guess there’s a point in life or perhaps a couple that make you stop and ponder things. It seems the older you get, the more you start to notice and fully comprehend that once you are born you also begin to die. Whether it is a morbid thought or not it is true. Whether we like it or not, it is still true, and unlike math two true’s don’t make a false, or is that backwards?
Doesn’t matter. Math doesn’t make sense. The point is its reflection time. Here’s food for thought: Did you know how many days there are in the average lifespan? 70 years= 25,550 days. 75 years = 27,375 days. 80 = 29,200 days. 90 = 32,850 days. I read that in an article some time ago and it really jumped out at me. I thought to myself, damn that isn’t very much. Especially considering I’ve lived 8700 of those already. So that is about a third of an average life span.
So the question is what now? How will you use your time? Time is the only thing that doesn’t offer you a second chance in life. Once it is gone, it is gone. Definitely puts things into perspective. It seems life is really short as they say. Although I’ve never agreed with that statement I can understand it.
Are you living life to the fullest? Are you taking advantage of all the opportunities that come your way? Are you aware that most opportunities usually disguise themselves as hard work? Have you realized that most things worth fighting for are always difficult? Have you done what you planned to do? Have you gotten what you wanted? Have you left something for the next generations? Have you left your mark? Have you met all the people and visited all the places?
There is the story of the boy who said “I’ve got places to go and people to meet”. That is what he did. So my friends, without much subtlety I say “don’t let time pass you by without getting the most out of it.” Take care of your health; take care of your relationships, whether with family, friends, strangers, God, loved ones and kids.
Take care of your work and invest time in becoming better and better and if possible even better, develop your talents, whether they are in art, music, sports, or any other aspect of life. And most of all instill a sense of love and gratitude for everything in your life. For in due time, unfortunately most things whither and die, but there are few that do remain. Those are entirely up to you!
nice
completely agree with you
True Reshma,
And please everyone keep blogging..
coz long after you are gone..
your blogs will stay on…
Of course what you say is absolutely right !!!! but tooooooooo idealistic and therefore difficult to follow !!
Reshma,yes it is true,as you have realised the truth of life ,it is not immortal,you must now turn to mytholigical thoughs about life & purpose & background of everybody’’s birth in BhagvadGeeta by lord Krishna. Then you will realise the how time is endless & everybody have more time than 25,550 days.PL STUDY THROUGHLY BhagvadGeeta & confirm do you agree with this.
yeah tahts true….We gotta improve…But sometimes the journey is more important than the destination.I guess life is like that only.We gotta enjoy it to the fullest.We gota face everything as and when it comes.We cant plan and execute in life.Yes definately we can try but again .I believe we cant control everything.So instead of worrying abt wts gonna happen we should enjoy the present…….
time…. one may be able to do a lot in a very short time if one is lucky . And may be live long- really long making no change to anything or anyone. Living a short life, but an effective one is far better than a long one . Time as such exists only if we are aware of it. A better way of looking at time!
tricky… i have nver thought so much in my life……..
maut aani hain aayegi ek din………….
Time in itself is the most Mystic concept. You can”t hold or grip it, it always slips but on the other hand it can always hold and grip you and no one can slip. Equally full and empty are like two polar ends in our mind, we just can”t imagine when we are full, we are empty, and when we are empty, we are full. The mirage of Life is Basic Instinct, once you rise above it, You can see the Full Circle Below. There is a Vengaboy Beat: I like to listen it - it is ”up and down”.
yes…gone before you blink…T
clock is clicking away my time ,I am here to make best out of it.
good calculations,nice thaughts.thanx
hey.nice calculation…………………..
I endorse the views expressed, but i wud like to add - there is a famous saying that when one wants to climb a mountain, one should not see upward and try to scale the height. Likewise, one should not bother about the days of one’’s life left (even though one does not know the same), but to enjoy the present. Enjoyment has to be found in every task performed. Finally, life belongs to the living and dead bodies cant enjoy.
Waooo at 8700 you are so matured,,i like your sentiments reshma and will you please mail me more thoughts of you please.i request you to do it please,,i am 21540 heheeeeee
Hey Reshma,
Nice calculative assessment of ones life. Good
I have seen your post for the first time after so many months. Welcome back and the blog you have posted is nice one and i really enjoyed reading.
You have a talent for writing so well. You have taken the number of days in our life span and posed some relevant questions. The tragedy is that while a few add age to years most peole add years to their ages.
Keep up the good work and do develop the art of writing continously.
Do let me know whenever you post a comment.
Cheers and best wishes
so nice very good thoughts Reshma
A nice one. In ur less than 9k days u have acquired the wisdom of 30k days. The attitude u advocate is the real positive one which makes it worthwhile to live otherwise days which just pile up with one just looking at them passively r a burden n a waste.Best wishes n be good n u will be God to everyone.
really time is so preceious
…”They prescribe various specific rites for the attainment of pleasure and power to those who are full of desires, and hold the attainment of heaven as the highest goal of life. The rebirth is their fruit of action.”~ Bhagvad Gita. But I want to be born again but as a dobermann:)
