Life is Long if you know How to Use It
Have you ever had the Feeling that “ Life is just passing by & despite your intentions, you’re wasting you time ? “
From the Book “On the Shortness of Life” by most prominent Thinker “Seneca” : Let’s see Ideas to Cop with the Shortness of Life like a Stoic.
1) Life is Short if you Waste it on Trivialities
We are always Good at Wasting our Time. Because —
People tend to think that, Once they have Achieved all the Goals, They’ll have Time to Enjoy the Life.
But, it rarely works that way. “We spend our Life Preparing for Life”
Life will also seem short to those who pursue a Life of Luxury. These People can’t even Enjoy their Indulgences.
2) Busyness doesn’t equal Fulfillment
Say a Ship left port and spent the Next Year being thrown about by a mighty storm.
It would be inaccurate, to claim that, during this time, it had steered a successful and purposeful course, even if it did make it safely back to harbor.
For some, by the Time they feel that the moment is right, they are too old or too weak to change their Habits. For others, even if they could prolong their lives threefold, they still wouldn’t change.
People can’t find the Time to listen to Themselves and Pursue their own aspirations, why should someone else ?
3) Educate Yourself by the World’s Greatest Minds
Pick your Philosopher, and Discover new ways to tackle Life, for the Everyday inessential to universal preoccupations.
Life is Long Enough to devote yourself to Self-Knowledge and True Wisdom. The Great Minds are your Tourchbearers in this task.
4) Draft your Career to Your Personality
A Life filled with Doubts and Regrets is no Life at All
Have faith in yourself. Trust you instincts. And Don’t be Too harsh on yourself once you have selected your course/ job/relationships.
You will Enjoy the Journey all the more if you have confidence in yourself and your actions.
Don’t forget the value of pleasure. And Don’t think you should Not Enjoy Yourself.
Material objects and external pursuits shouldn’t define your Happiness.
5) True Satisfaction comes from Within
To use an Analogy : if you crave Water not because you’re Thirsty but because you’re feverish, Your Craving will never be Satisfied.
Only you can determine how satisfied you are with the World Around you !
Concluding in 1 Line
Live a Fulfillment Life, you shouldn’t see Immediate validation or base your worth upon the judgement of others. Instead, draw on the Knowledge and wisdom of those who have gone before you.
