Feeling grateful

To be alive , each day is a blessing and we should feel grateful.  Grateful for the additional one day of life.  Most of the time, we take it for granted and do not treasure the day as we have the years.

I always remind myself , life is uncertain as a slight twist of an event could change our life forever. We don't have to wait for that moment to happen and we can live as if today is our last day on earth.  Isn't this thinking correct ? Why are we waiting for another day to live the life we choose.  Madness isn't it ?

There is another saying " when fear ends, that is when life begins". Again , this is very true. We are restrict by fear . The fear of dying, the fear of our boss, the fear of not having enough for retirement and the list goes on and on forever. It is so funny that we stop doing risky things and stop spending our money even if we have enough . The fear is imaginery.

Like steve jobs say " when we have gather enough wealth to live our life , we should turn to the things that we want to do or to live out our passions " But, how to define " enough " .  Living a simple life  or an expensive life demands different amount.  So , I don't quite agreed that we should do the things we like or live out our passions after we accummulate enough wealth. As I say " when is it enough/" . I would like to think that enough wealth is not the criteria but rather living happily all the time and doing the things we like is most important irrespective of money.  We must find the time to do it.

Time waits for no one as the days rushes by. Why wait until we cannot walk before we go traveling ? Why wait for us to have enough money to eat the foods we like ?  We have to do whatever we want as soon as possible if not today for tomorrow will never come,.

I have seen people who is reluntant to eat when they are young as they want to accummulate their wealth and when they have accummulated enough , they cannot eat because they have gone old. Does this equation hold waters ?  Supid and silly and bad judgement.  But , this the normal thinking of billions before me and after me.  This is the establishment.

Namaste.
