My dear friend,
Let me share a story. Once there was a human, and let’s name him as Mr. A. So Mr. A came to the world; played in the childhood years like all of us. As a grown up adult, he followed the predetermined path laid out before him, ticking off the boxes of success as defined by others. But amidst the chaos of conformity, a fire burned within him—a burning desire to break free from the shackles of conventional life and live a life of his own design.Lived in confusion with the feeling of incompleteness. Somewhere he wanted to break all the shackles to live a life which he wanted to live.
But time waits for none. We all are mortal beings. He grew old and died. And what happens after death? As per most of the scriptures and religions, we are supposed to meet our creator, right? So Mr. A reached to the creator.
He is standing in front of his Creator, one on one.
And the creator asked, ‘ How was heaven?’
Can you imagine what Mr. A would have reacted to this?
In that moment, Mr. A’s response was filled with regret. He was taken aback by the question. He wished he had been more courageous, daring to be different, and following his own dreams and aspirations. He realized that he should have prioritized lifelong learning, constantly seeking knowledge and expanding his horizons while living life to the fullest.
From this story, my friend, we can draw some valuable lessons about lifelong learning:
- Embrace your individuality: Don’t be afraid to be yourself and follow your own path. Society’s expectations may guide us, but true fulfillment comes from staying true to who we are.
- Pursue your passions: Identify what truly excites and motivates you, and dedicate time and effort to pursuing those interests. Life is too short to live for others’ expectations alone.
- Take risks and step out of your comfort zone: Growth happens when we challenge ourselves and venture into the unknown. Don’t let fear hold you back from trying new things and exploring different opportunities.
- Never stop learning: Knowledge is a lifelong journey. Keep seeking new information, acquiring new skills, and broadening your perspective. Embrace curiosity and embrace the joy of learning.
- Make time for personal reflection: It’s important to periodically pause, reflect on your life, and evaluate if you’re living in alignment with your values and aspirations. Regular self-assessment can help you course-correct and ensure you’re on the right path.
- Live life to the fullest – No moment will repeat itself ever so every moment is once in a lifetime opportunity. We must live life to the fullest possible. Play your biggest game.
Remember, my friend, we have the power to shape our lives and create our own version of heaven on Earth. Let Mr. A’s story be a reminder that it’s never too late to start living authentically and embracing lifelong learning to live life to the fullest as a heaven on earth.
Wishing you a life filled with purpose, growth, and endless curiosity.
Your friend for life,
Jogi
