You Only Live Once!

I’m driving this message to everyone clearly because so many of us know this but tend to just follow the social norm and do whatever is required of them..

For instance, do you wake up at 7am or earlier in the morning, get prepared and go to work, get home at 7pm or later, have dinner and then sleep, and the next day goes just the same way? I’m quite sure at least 85% of the world population live their life more or less this way. Work, earn money and aim for better life – enjoy when you get old. What if you don’t live till then? I am not cursing you, I am just being realistic.

Something awful happened over the weekend, not to me but to one of my guy friend who is renting a room at a 3-story house.. The house caught fire all of a sudden and he was sleeping in his room when it happened.. It was a Godsend that he woke up at the smell of smoke and by some noise disruption nearby.. He barely managed to escape with only some personal belongings like wallet & documents..   

This made me realize, once again, that life is so fragile. We are like candles, just a puff of wind will manage to wipe us off, forever.

So, do what makes you happy You don’t need a reason for doing everything in life. Do it because you want to. Because it’s fun and enjoyable.

I am not asking you to take a rain check on your senses and just do something reckless like leaving your job and travel the world with your life savings, though I quite admire that possibility haha.. Just make sure there is a good balance between your work life and your personal life.. Start with small steps like sending a caring text to your family, having the weekly dinner dates with friends and family, going to the movies, library, park or whichever you prefer at least once in a fortnight!

Remember this – You Only Live Once! Make the most of it
