Many of us are living the same week a few thousand times and calling it a life, that’s not life.
I need to tell you that too many among us die at 30 and buried at 80
Robin Sharma
Reading this quote makes you think, doesn’t it? How can someone say that you died at 30 but are only buried 50yrs later?
Well, ask any person on their death bed and they will list all the regrets or things they didn’t do or most of them will.
A lot will say they wished they had spent less time at work and more time at home with their families, doing things there were passionate about.
Can or is it really that simple? Can we just stop working the 9-5 and start living life day to day on our own terms? Isn’t money important? Don’t we need it to pay the bills, buy food and provide shelter for our families?
When did we allow it to become so important? Why do we have to be independent? Why can’t we continue living with our parents and contribute to the growth and wellbeing of the tribe?
We all have it backwards, who said we had to follow the normal structure of – Go to school. Get a job, Get married, Buy a house together (mortgage/debt), Buy cars together car loan/debt) and Have some kids (debt)?
Why can’t we follow the tribe mentality? Everyone stays together, everyone contributes and everyone does what they are passionate about. No regrets when Uncle Sam comes knocking because you spent your most valuable gift/resource of time with those you love, doing what you love.
So many questions, So many possible answers.
Live while you are Alive. Don’t die before you are buried
