There is something to think about.
Life needs to be enjoyed
Most of us live life on autopilot, writes the portal PowerOfPositivity . We just go through the motions, we look happy on the outside, but inside we feel empty and alone.
We worry too much about money, about what others will think of us, about work. Few of us really live.
But there is at least one person who knows why we were given life and how to properly enjoy this gift. A 24-year-old dying young man shared his story with the Reddit portal , which made him known.
The story
Here is his letter addressed to us, those who still have many years ahead of them but have no idea how to live them to the fullest.
” I am only 24 years old, but I have already chosen the tie I will wear at my funeral, which will take place in a few months. It may not match the suit perfectly, but I am sure it is ideal for the occasion. “
The diagnosis of cancer came too late. I have no hope of recovery. However, it gave me the opportunity to understand what an awareness of death is needed. Such that a person re-evaluates their life and is able to recognize their mistakes and give them up.
I lived without doing anything.
The meaning of life
Many things occupied my mind earlier. I didn’t have much time for them and only now have I realized what is truly important to me. I want to share with you my insights about the meaning of life:
1) Don’t waste time doing work you hate. Success will never come that way. Passion and dedication awaken only with activities you love.
2) It is foolish to be afraid of what people might think of you. Fear weakens and paralyzes you. If you allow it space in your life, you will destroy it. Listen to your inner voice. Some people may consider you a fool, others will see you as a hero.
3) Take full responsibility for what happens to you. Cut out bad habits, try to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Find a sport that makes you happy. Don’t put it off. Let your life be determined by deeds, not words.
4) Value the people around you. Friends and relatives will always be an inexhaustible source of strength and love for you. Therefore you should not take them for granted.
The value of time
It is hard to express in words the importance of these simple things, but I hope you are among those who recognize the value of time.
I am not angry. I know that the last days of my life have meaning. I only regret that I will not be able to witness the creation of artificial intelligence, and I also hope that the war in Syria and in Ukraine will end soon.
We care a lot about our appearance, but until the last minute we fail to notice that the body is just a vessel filled with our thoughts, beliefs and intentions. It is what brought us into this world.
Conclusion
But if there is nothing in this vessel that could change the world, then what is its existence? I believe we all have potential, but realization requires a lot of courage.
You can go with the flow or fight it, fight for what you believe in, write your own great life story yourself. I hope you choose correctly.
Leave a mark on this world. Live meaningfully. Focus on where you live. Everything is possible. No one will be here forever, and life is a short time spent on this beautiful little planet. It flies at an incredible speed into the infinite darkness of the unknown universe.
