It Wasn't Meant To Be Like This (2)

On the plane to and from my holiday I cried.

I cried tears for the life I am living. I knew that the time for action is now. I knew that if I did not change the way I lived I would live a life I would later regret.

The same themes ran through my head. This time I had to take a leap of faith. Now.

Will I waste my life knowing I want something but not going for it or will I take action today?

Life is too short. I cannot continue to live the way I am living. I will regret it in ten years time. I want to escape. I want to live.

I know that it is myself that is most important. Others don't matter - what they say or do doesn't matter.

I hope that there is a God who cares and I resolve to take the Alpha course.

I kept remembering the time when I was passionate and determined to succeed at one thing. Earth 2025, year 12. I had given it all and achieved the results I wanted. I have to relive this passion. This is more important than my career.

I have achieved all I want to achieve in my career. I am unhappy even though I have a good job. I know I should stop going for jobs. Instead, I should emulate the people who have achieved what I want to achieve. I didn't study five years for this.

Everyday is there to be enjoyed. It's God's gift for me.

No Regrets

It is pointless to live a life with regret.

I have to make a decision to be confident and do what I want. The main thing is self assurance and doing what I want. With this comes freedom.

Take time to stop and think. Think about your actions.

Ask yourself, 'what will I think of my actions one year from now?' and 'what would you do if you were going to die soon?'. Use this to guide your current actions.

Make the most of the time you have. Live with no regrets.

Musings on Time

There are two things certain in life - birth and death. You decide what happens in between. We live this life cycle - birth, new life, and death - our time is deceptively brief.

During my holidays, time was always on my mind. The time to check out, the time to catch the plane, the time to meet people, the time back home. Time and life are so interconnected.

---------------------------------

Time is everything. Time cannot be bought.

Nothing in this universe is permanent. Everything is temporary.

Nothing really matters. The only certainty is change over time.

---------------------------------

For everyone, the clock is ticking. We will likely become the result of what occupies the majority of our time and the people around us, unless we take action to change it.

Life is a series of decisions. We make the decisions all the time. Our decisions have led us to where we are now. The habits we form and the decisions we make affect the rest of our lives.
