Yes, I know you are busy. In fact, the statement "Life is very demanding" will seem like an understatement to you at this juncture of time. To be truthful, I am also living a very eventful life...too eventful at times...too tiring...so much so that the thin line of difference between fun times and hectic times cease to exist...that things which were adventurous are now metamorphosing into burdensome activities.
What are you slogging it out for?
Why doesn't time agree with you?
When does it ever occur to you that you are not only answerable here but somewhere else too?
Your thoughts, efforts, sweat - for whom are your killing yourself?
Isn't it time your broke these shackles and set yourself free?
Money, success, recognition...is that it?
Are you wondering whether these are your destination, your final resting place? Or is this just the start? Think again.
Eat this:
You are 65. If you are lucky, you would pr0bably be lying on your deathbed and thank god for spitting mercy on you. There's no one next to you. You have dreary eyes with tears in them wishing for your loved ones to be there. And there's only one question -where is everyone who called them yours?
But you are wrong, as equally as you have been for the last 45 years...the question is do you deserve them?
Your brain does a quick re-wind of your entire history...flashes of all the people that could have and should have meant so much more rushing by...only now its too late for the same. There's no redemption, only repent. You yearn for another chance. Just a few moments with your parents - to tell them how much you are grateful to them, for the every li'l sacrifice they made for you, for always putting your need ahead of theirs. Your brother for just being their - through all the thick and thin...and that you are sorry for not being there for him when you should have. To your friends who patiently listened and responded to all your meaningless yapping. To that girl who made you feel worth it...to that love of your life...to your wife, to your children. Everyone!!!
You suddenly gasp for air...you are going to choke on yourself...you don't want to die...you want to live on...you resist..you pray, for once with all your heart, to take you back...to the times when you could have done all these things...Things that are way more important now and ever...
Suddenly, you wake up from this nightmare, or your future to be...
Its not too late.
Have you ever thought about this? Or are you too busy?
Get a life!
