At the end of the day, each of us has to go.
But before we go, we can make this entire earthly sojourn of ours memorable. This
calls for intelligent living!
Isn’t a vacation more memorable than routine,
day-to-day existence? Now, why is a vacation memorable? Because you let go, you
leave your worries behind and engage with your family or friends or even, in
solitude, with nature. You know you have invested in the vacation and you feel the need to maximize the tenure of that vacation. Think about it. Why not
treat each day as a vacation? You don’t need an exotic locale to holiday. You
need the attitude to enjoy each day as you would while on a vacation.
Do the following: 1. Imagine for a moment,
you have no worries and you are on a vacation. 2. Play out that attitude at
work today. Work in an easy, unrushed, unruffled manner. Savor each moment.
Even if you are getting pulled up by your boss, admire the color of his tie or
her dress. Look at the opportunity in the feedback. If you are stuck in
terrible traffic, look for signs of Life and beauty around you on the road. A
young boy helping a blind man cross the road, a child sleeping peacefully on
her mother’s lap. If you have to do mundane household chores, do them at your
own pace, choosing to do one thing at a time, giving it the fullest attention.
This simple approach can change your Life
dramatically. It can make you transform your driving-yourself-and-others-crazy
approach to slowly, smoothly, enjoying the miracle called now and the gift called today! Remember: You are not going to live forever. Not me
either. To live intelligently, fully, is therefore not a choice, it is imperative.
