What are we waiting for ?

One day, my elderest sister, H asked me this question " What are we waiting for?" . She said that all of us are waiting for something to happen.  I was puzzled by her impromptu question but it was very meaningful if we think deeply about this question.

Most of us is living in a comfortable routine and keep you hope high that we remained healthy or good fortune continued to be bestow on us. We are waiting for the right moment, the right inspiration, the right financial rewards or the right financial situation to carry out what we have been aspiring to do. Alot of people is thinking of travelling after retirement when we are financial stable and some of them realized their dreams but for some peoople, they cannot fulfill their dream beacuse of health or their financial commitments. A dream not realized.

My last travel to lake kenyir,  I told you that I met two couples who have retired and they have been spending their time travelling.  One of them is a 72 years old man and he could climb up the waterfall and dip himself in the waterfalls. He looks young and not his age. 

I happen to talk to a more chatty Indian man and he told me that his 72 years old in-law  have been the one pushing them to travel and he start to enjoy it.  He is about 65 years old and he said that it is wise to travel before our health or legs failed us.  We should travel when we can walk , eat and sleep.  These  conditions  are pre-requisites to a good travel.

Many people have the thinking that our good health is always with us but the real fact is that as we aged our body will get more frail and weak.  This is the basic fact of life. 

My insight is that we should not wait until things happen and we should instead make things happen and we can decided to just do it even if there is a need to use our future earnings.  As we aged, we look back with regrets that there are many things that we should do but the current conditions is unable to let us to carry out such activities.  There are things that we can do when we are young but if we hesitate at that time, the opportunity will be gone forever.

Don't asked this question of "what are we waiting for ?" but instead we should plan what we should do next as if tomorrow will never come.  We should live life more passionately and listen to what heart what we want to do when we are able and capable.

Don't think so much, be focus and be aware of our body conditions and decide wisely.

Namaste.
