Maximise your resources

Hi this would be my first attempt at blogging. I have been thinking for a long time but never made it.
There are always times in our life’s when we think ‘oh, I should do this or I should have done that’, etc but very few times we actually sit down and think why we have not done what we have always wanted to do. This habit of postponing things actually deprives ourselves of viewing/ capturing our own capabilities.
In our daily hustle bustle, we forget an inner self within us which actually wants to do something completely contrary to what are doing. This inner self goes on tolerating our ignorance and one day it just says “Shutup” and listen to me. Some people listen to it and some continue to ignore it. This continued ignorance of the inner self one leads to what people say “Burn out”.
We must remember that we have only one Life to live, to be precise, each one of us have only about 35 years. Now you may ask how? I will tell you: from your birth till your in school, we lead a very disciplined life(mainly run by our teachers and parents), when in college we are kind of confused as to what to do in life and try out various formal/vocational streams to identify our skills (most times we fail understand and end up doing what parents say or peers do), and then we find a job. A standard pattern, most of us follow. It is only after one or two years of work experience that we realise the world is not as rosy as what we thought and this is when we start developing strong views about various aspects of life. Also this age from about mid 20s to 60 is when we all enjoy good health, our incomes keep rising, we have a family and a name in the society. These are the most crucial and important years of our life as after 60 we really don’t know what would be the condition of our health due to old age related issues.
My point is that we should make the maximum use of these golden years which we live only once. Listen to your hearts, to your inner self and also do what it says (among various other activities). Do not loose it by being unhappy or depressed. You won’t get it back.
So Act Now.
