"You can only lose what you cling to" ~ Buddha
A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he
could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then
the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.
Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast
as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding
and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was
hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area
as possible.
Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted
and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard
to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small
area to bury myself."
The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very
hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect
our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty
and the hobbies we love.
One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need
that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.
Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life
is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living
so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of
Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want
to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able
to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts.
Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human
existence.
So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life
is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced
lifestyle and enjoy Life!
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
