This is something that struck my mind.

This is so true, we all are born, and we wait till the day we die. In between we have to go to school, learn a lot of stuff, work, and then reproduce.

This all takes place on this tiny blue grain of sand in this vast universe, which keeps on moving toward the future. 

You Deserve A Beautiful Life

We all come from different backgrounds, but we all deserve a beautiful life.

Every one of us who works hard, and earns honest money, deserves all the luxuries in the world, but spending our life just behind this simple thing is not correct. Some of us work on weekends and holidays.

I have seen people around me, work day in and day out. They don't spend time with their family and friends. They slog every day and burn their midnight oil during the weekends. And all of this for their time slowing slipping out from their hands.

I realized it today

I was also part of this rat race where I always wanted to make a bit more money than I was making in the present.

I used to work hard in my office, the on my projects and also used to give lectures in several institutes.

This helped me earn good money. I was able to buy my house before I hit 30, as I had planned, bought 3 cars, and a bike, and have a beautiful family.

But I was always slogging, even on weekends, holidays, and during vacations.

I was always thinking about my next project or the next big thing that could bring that extra amount of money that could help me secure my future.

But today I realized that this all will not fill out the time that I have wasted doing what I didn't enjoy much.

I would have loved to waste my time or spend my time with my family and friends. I would have loved to go to movies and not slog some days, but when I see myself. I see myself slogging my whole life and the dreams just keep on becoming reality in a materialistic sense.

Even though, I could earn an unlimited amount of money, and create assets, what about spending time with my daughter and my wife?

This time will never come back.

Fortunately, I have time

Best time to plant a tree was 15 years back, and next best time to plant a tree is now.

I still have time to correct things and spend time with my family and friends. I can work on my passion, but I can avoid being a workaholic.

For this, I will have to schedule my time properly. If I am working in an office, then I will have to leave on time. If I have a project that I am working on, then I will have to define a proper timeline to complete it.

I cannot sit the whole night and day to complete something just because I have to complete a task.

Health is most important. Today I realized that sitting for 15 hours a day in one place and not doing any physical activity is not a good idea. All that we have earned is wasted if we cannot cherish it.

I have a beautiful garden, but I barely go there and spend time, and that is just because I keep on working each day till night and then sleep. This is not what we want. I will have to take out time for myself and my family and enjoy what I have.

This is true for most of us

This is not just my life story, but for many people around the world that are stuck in this rat race.

One of the best things is to enjoy what you have and be self-contained. It is good to have passion and personal goals, but those should not be on priority if you cannot enjoy your life doing those things.

Waste your day, but ensure that you love wasting it. :)
