One day at a time

Can we think further than one day ?  Yes, of course, this is our daily wishful thinking. Our hope and our wish .  We expect to wake up and face the future if nothing goes wrong.  Here there is a certain amount of uncertainties and that is the word "if ". Usually, we are always right if we are in our youth or strong and healthy.  Despite that , there is still an element of uncertainty of us not waking up. The chance is less when we are young but increases with the age.

As age catches up, we are in a struggle with ourselves to be in good shape and handle the assignments for that day.  Sometimes ,we fall sick and have to live through the day or sit ourselves out, waiting for fight another day.

In other cases, we just die and let go of everything.  But, why do we wait for the days to happen and start to live.  Whatever it is going to happen or not , come what may, we should live and really live and thinking that tomorrow will never come.  This is really living.

Do what we want and come what may or say what may ... If you are happy by all means do whatever you want to do and passionate about it. Don't think too far ahead but just live for the day or for the moment.

Another way to live our life is to be thankful for being able to wake up, be thankful for having the chance to brush our teeth, have our breakfast and doing the things we want to do without any hindrance. Even if we feel the pain of waking up or walking to the bedroom, we have to fight the feelings and do what we want to do for the day. Don't let the pain or discomfort to prevent us from living. 

Once , I was walking with a limp as I have ghout on one leg, I was dragging my feet and feeling painful. One of my friend saw me and give me a pain killer and my pain was relieved and I feel good after that.  He advised me , why do you need to bear with the pain  and feeling miserable ? One pain killer would not kill you now or tomorrow.  Immediately , I realized the foolishness of not taking the pain killer.  Of course , I do not want to take pain killer to risk hurting my kidney but does it really matter. You are living now rather than thinking of living longer into the future.  Be wise and be aware.

Namaste.
