The only time a man should be in a box is when he’s dead. Today’s blog is inspired by a Bollywood movie I watched a couple of days ago – ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’. Translated to English, this means you will never get life again. The plot of the movie is about three friends who go on a bachelor’s trip to Spain (one of them is getting married). In Spain they do the things they have always wanted to do but haven’t because of fear and life getting in the way. It’s a really heart-warming movie which shows that time is limited and ultimately we must do what WE want to do.
Don’t count the days. Make the days count
What makes you feel alive? What sets you on fire? When is the last time you did something that made you feel alive? Do you remember the pure joy and amazement you felt by doing it? If you want different results you have to do different things. The point is that we, as people, must make time to do things that make us feel alive. We must take time to do the things that nourish our soul and give us that feeling of awe and amazement. It’s only then when we can look back in our later years and say to ourselves “wow I really lived a colourful life” and/or “I have no regrets”.
Life will naturally get in the way. It always does and it should. We have responsibilities and money to earn and people to provide for. But every once in a while we should break out of that routine, out of that box and do something for our soul. Whether it’s to go on that trip you have always wanted to go on, or attend that music concert, or to meet that person. Whatever it is, do it before you regret it.
You can choose to wait for life, but life will never wait for you.
If you are waiting for someone to travel with you, you may end up waiting a life time
Don’t let fear stop you from doing things you have always wanted to do. Especially the fear of being alone. You are never alone. There are always people around and people who will be on that experience with you. Even if you don’t know them personally. By putting things off until you feel the moment is right or until you find someone to go with, you will be wasting valuable time. You will be wasting life.
Tomorrow is never guaranteed
Live today to the fullest before you make your grand plans about what you will do in the future. Granted, some things require planning and time and therefore cannot be done immediately. But many things can! Is there a movie you have been putting off? Perhaps there’s a dinner with a friend/partner that needs to be rearranged? Is there an important conversation that needs to be had with somebody? These things can be done today.
Whatever you are able to do today that will improve your day and help you to sleep at night feeling fulfilled, you should do. It can be as small as taking a walk, watching that movie you have been putting off instead of playing with your phone. Or having that difficult conversation with somebody you care about. Every day you put it off, is a day wasted.
If not now, when?
The clock is always ticking. Live today to the fullest first.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Tony.
The clock is always ticking, we shall treasure the time and carve our life with passion, curiosity and persistence
