If I keep aside the facts of WHO and assume that I were to live 80 years I would possess 365 X 80 = 29,200 days only.

When I am writing this, I am 34 years old and I have consumed 365 X 34 = 12,410 days so I am left with 16,790 days.

Out of it, If I take my shortest sleep of 6 hrs daily I will be sleeping for 1,07,310 hrs (i.e. 4472 days). On each day I was working genuinely for 4 to 5 hrs daily at most and If I keep on working up to the attainment of 70 years age.

It means that my working age left is 14,235 days or 71,175 hrs (without excluding holidays) If I start working more i.e. 10 to 14 hrs daily I can stretch my working age to its utmost value i.e. (39X365X12=) 1,70,820 hrs.

Time to Live

Right away I realized that I should not waste my remaining time and I tried to plunge myself into giving thought to my dream projects and lately writing this article.

Each day, on almost every day there’s a decision that each of us has to make, for each of us needs to decide for ourselves, whether to give or to take, whether to bring peace or strife… and that is the daily decision that reflects the whole rest of our life.

Here is a small story to reflect the taste of life

Imagine the morning time for a child. The alarm has just gone off, waking him from a deep peaceful sleep. With a groan, he drags himself out of bed and pulls the curtains.

It is raining outside. He felt very nice. Suddenly he remembers that he has unfinished Mathematics homework.

He was afraid of punishment from the teacher. His mother enters the room and asks him to take a bath. He cried, Can’t you see I’m doing my homework?

That’s not the time to do the homework. You should have finished it last evening, she says. He does some of his work and starts getting ready for the school.

He demands 500 bucks to buy a book because his teacher has asked for the same. His father is crying now, What the hell is this? You always ask at the eleventh hour.

The last thing he hears before leaving for school is that you cannot do anything in your life. I know you will fail this year. He realizes his fault. Somehow, he gets ready and catches his bus.

When he arrives at school, he finds out it’s closed for the day, it makes him happy.

He is back home and comes to know that the doors are locked and he doesn’t have the keys. He decides to go to his friend.

When he reaches there he finds that the friend and his sister are engrossed in a discussion. He asks them to share something with him.

They are talking about some laws of science. They explain to him the same. He feels good.

In the course of this short episode however he has experienced the eight worlds… Hell, Hunger, Animality, Anger, Tranquility, Rapture, Learning, Realization.

Emotions of life

We all can relate this short story to our daily lives. We also go through so many different emotions and desires in a day.

It is therefore important to learn how to get the best of all these different states of life and the best way is this practice only.

One should be encouraged to employ his/her potential to squarely confront and overcome the real challenges of their daily lives, and manifest the profound potential of their life by fulfilling their unique purpose.
