What if the earth suddenly disappears with the destruction of the solar system? Will you be able to stop it as a human coming from a small city on earth? If earth destroys tomorrow, everything you are is gone. Every empire you built, all your earnings, are gone. The same world you wanted to make a mark on – can be gone. And you? You will be just added to the part of soil on earth.
Life is that unpredictable. Life is that simple. There is no room for arrogance as a human or to say that you are this ‘superior kind,’ so nothing should happen to you. There is no guarantee that you and only you will be spared if the earth is to be destroyed. The reality is, you are powerless when compared with the broader nature, cosmos, and beyond. But you are powerful enough to understand how precious life is of yours and everyone around you. You are powerful enough to realize that you are given a specific time in life. You are powerful enough to understand you are given all the main assets – the best in evolution times, from a magnificent brain to parts of the body to function in coordination, as you instruct them. You are powerful enough to understand the clicking of a clock is not time, but your life seconds!
Suppose we take a deep and more complex look at ourselves. How many of us are happy as who we are? Who have we become throughout the years? Aren’t you feeling sad about your past? How many times would you want to change one episode in your life if you had the chance? How many seconds have we regretted something we did, how many minutes, how many hours we have wasted of our life thinking about the past? Have we managed to change anything? The result was a drained, unhappy time from our precious life. Why did we regret our past? Because we have a fantastic memory than all others walk on this earth.
How many seconds, minutes, and hours have we wasted thinking about the future, thinking about our children’s future, and how incapable we are of making things happen? How many times have we made conclusions on our future, which hasn’t even come our way still? How many times have we imagined something may go wrong? We have wasted so much time. The result was a drained, unhappy time from our precious life. Why did we regret our future? Because we have an awesome imagination power than all others walk on this earth.
In essence, we waste our time from our precious life, which can power the energies to do things, making us happy. We have made the most significant assets of our dear life a curse. We have made the most extensive capabilities of our precious energy into suffering, which is useless to us. We have made the wrong investments in life for many years. So how can you have the best life you always dreamt about?
So if your life is precious, how do we invest it right?
1. Invest in ‘life spreading’ activities
Your physical well-being is crucial for you to reap benefits from your precious life. An active life with routine exercises will add months and years to your life and help you get away from chronic diseases. Most of us wait until we are given an indication something is wrong to start to act. Instead, proactively invest your time for better eating habits, exercises, adequate sleep, and regular checkups, knowing these will spread your life wings.
2. Invest in ‘life making’ activities
Life-making activities are non-physical markers of well-being but powerful combinations informing our life and future. They are emotional, mental, and spiritual health and how we spend time to uplift them to reap benefits over time. This will extend years of life energies of your precious life, focused in the right direction of your life. This will add years to your life, away from chronic illnesses, stress, depression, etc. Months of unnecessary heartaches, heartburns, and headaches will be reduced. In essence, you will benefit by moving fast towards your chosen goals in life and making your life journey a joyful, precious one.
3. Invest in ME Time
Most of us don’t have time for ourselves. We are too busy. When do we have time for ourselves to look at our life priorities? When do we stock take and study? Are we on the right track of our life pathway? We have devoted so much time to our career, family, relations, and friends, but when did we book time with ourselves? How long can we go on like this? How come we never prioritized ourselves before? Is it fair for you to feel that I have attended to your responsibilities one day, but you are not happy deep within for yourself? A suitable investment in this area will release you years of mental agony, pave the way for your happiness, know what is essential to you, and monitor if you are on the right path, adding more value to your precious life.
4. Invest in ‘appreciating’ time
There are so many things we need to be grateful for in our lives. It can be your parents, partner, children, husband, co-workers, relatives, friends, etc., or the cashier in the grocery store, who has been serving you for years. Yes, we haven’t taken a moment to thank them, show appreciation for who they are and what they had done. We haven’t had time to check on the sunset, go for a touch of the waves on our feet, go for a walk in the sand, and appreciate the moon and stars. We are so away from nature, we have forgotten the small pleasures around us. We need to pay attention to respecting others, appreciating nature, bringing sensitivity and happiness into our precious life, and living in harmony with the universe.
These are some of the areas you can invest your precious life in. When you decide to invest, make sure that you monitor results, change and evaluate results, and talk with people closest to you. Your life is too precious to go to waste, and every single suitable investment will bring you a massive Return on Investment (ROI) in your dear life.
