One minute you are happy about your promotions and the next minute your entire office along with you and many others just shatters like a pile of stones that children play with. What if the unborn baby you and your partner were so happy and hopeful about comes to the world when it's all collapsing? Have you ever wondered what it would be like for a father to come looking for his child to find nothing but a heap of bricks covering his little kid? I know it's too scary to even think of.. I never intended to scare anyone reading this... All I want is for people to leave the bubble of unawareness that their brain has created in order for them to feel safe.

You must have known about the scariest earthquakes of all time that stuck the Syrian and Turkey borders. The above-mentioned incidents are absolutely true. The victims did actually face what a nightmare for us to just think of. I want every reader to pray for those who are suffering and help as much as possible.

Now, I want to ask you a question.

Do you not think to be lucky enough to sit at your house in peace? If not... you should feel it. Be grateful for each and every moment you have. Because it might be a matter of time before you lose it all .

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU HAVE TIME?

If you think you will do certain things later on in your life.. I would suggest you not rely on that thought of yours. I want you to make time for small things. I want you to play. I want you to love. I want you to eat all you want to. I want you to live each and every moment of your life as if you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. You can live a thousand lives in one year and no life at all in years. It's you who decides it for yourself. If you think dedicating hours and hours to studies and doing nothing except that will provide you with a good future... you might be wrong. Because there is no guarantee that there actually is a future or not. Just think if the world was to end today.. will you be happy about what you have experienced till today? Would you be satisfied? Or would you beg for one last day to do it all that you planned for your forties maybe .. having a degree from a prestigious college or having the best job in the world is valuable only till the organisation is alive? Whatever money you earn will lose its value someday. These natural disasters, the covid-19 pandemic, are just examples of how small we are than nature's powers. The only thing which would make us satisfied at that last moment is what we did.

The future is not certain, the past cannot be changed all we have a hold on is the present. Don't you ever lose hope? Never ever. Don't stop planning. But, start living too. It's nothing bad to picture your future to be a better place. In fact, hope is the only thing that keeps us sane. But the thing is, to think about the future and to live in it are two different things. One should spend 25-30% of the time planning the future and the rest living in present. That's the key to survival.

What will be your last thought If the world was to end today?

We always keep thinking about people and things .. that's what our brains are designed to do. But, have you ever wondered about the last thought you would have when the doomsday comes? Is it a person? Is it your pet? Is it your god? Or is it a feeling? For sure you must have thought about it before the completion of my previous sentence. You must have a name or an image in your mind now. Only you know who you are thinking about. Now, think are you happy with the last conversation you had with them? If not, just call them and make things right. Or, if it is a feeling, just relive it to make it more and more beautiful.

Just ask yourself the simple question would you be satisfied...if the world was ending? The answer will be self-explanatory of how much you have to alter your thoughts to live and die in peace.
