“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” 

― Mahatma Gandhi

I think most of us are scared of death, are you?. 

We are scared mostly because 

  • We don't know what lies beyond, its the uncertainity that frightens us, nothing else.
  • We feel we may not have done a lot of things we needed to do in a lifetime.
  • We feel our responsibilities are not complete yet.
  • We think, that people will miss us.
  • We fear the pain we may suffer while dying.
  • We are afraid that we will be punished for our wrong doings throughout the life.
  • Last but not the least, we dunno if we are going to heaven or hell.

Isn't this exactly what we feel like, about death. Only logical conclusion I can come to is, that we are afraid of uncertainity, nothing else we know when a child is born he/she will crawl first then walk/ run , so we are generally aware of what come next but thats exactly the problem with death, nobody has ever returned and told what happens after death or if theres a afterlife, its just a big black hole.

So,lets let go the unknown and ensure that your life here is full of fulfilment, but how do you ensure that,

  • Do everything right now
  • Love like that no tomorrow
  • Tell your loved ones that you love them
  • Be prompt and prepare for all contingencies 
  • Take care of your responsibilities and don't postpone
  • Live every moment of life to the fullest, enjoy it, smile and make others smile
  • Remember all heaven and hell are here, theres just peace afterwards

Rather than worrying about unknown , make the best of whats available to you. Make a list today of what you would like to do, and just do it. Live it!! Love it!! and you will never regret a single moment of life nor will will you feel missed out.

So, cheers to life!!!!
