Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 82
Title: Live
Your Life Before Life Leaves You!!
I
came across this headline somewhere and it made a whole lot of sense to me. I
told myself that I would not only do a podcast with that tile but that I would
also ensure that all those around me get
the meat behind the title and actually begin to live their lives. It is really
unfortunate that sometimes most of us do not realize that there is no eternal
abode here on earth and that life is not only transitory but temporal too. We
act as if we can postpone living until we are ready to live; but that is not
the case. Whether we like it or not, life is on a forward movement, it waits
for no one and there cannot be a time when you can say this is my time to live.
The time you have to live is an everyday thing, that which you can do at 20,
you may not do it that well when you are 40; that which you can access with
ease at 25, you may have to access it with so much difficulty at 50. The older
we grow, the weaker we become, that is a fact of life and no "stay young
ever pill" can change that. I read the story of a man who worked for 35
years and stashed away enough funds that he would use at his retirement. While
working, he was quite austere in expenses; he hardly ever went on a vacation
neither did he make out time to enjoy some pleasures of life. He stashed away
enough money that would last him a long time after retirement and he promised
his wife that they would tour the world as soon as he retires because he has
kept enough money for them to do so. Unfortunately, he was involved in a
ghastly motor accident while coming back from a visit to his village 3 months
after his retirement and died on the spot. The wife cried so much that she
refused to be consoled and she told all those who were comforting her that what
was paining her most was that while alive, her husband refused to live and was
waiting for retirement and now that he was retired and ready to start living, death
came and took him. It is important for us to realize that "in the midst of
life, we are in death" and postponing living to later date is not to be
advised at all. Live while you have the opportunity, it should not be taken for
granted.
