Always “Better Than Before”

Always “Better Than Before”? 

Constantly striving to be a BETTER HUMAN BEING!

That is the only true purpose of LIFE. 

To enhance my experience of LIFE in every small moment within the limited time that one has on this planet in this lifetime. 

The two dimensions of TIME & ENERGY are all that I need to focus upon. 

Recognizing that TIME is incessantly drifting away like the sand in the hour-glass, I have to be conscious of every single moment, because, it is not TIME that is slipping away but LIFE! That makes every moment of one’s day so very precious. 

When one is constantly aware of one’s mortality, it serves to propel you forward. In the scriptures there is a word “DWIJA”. Which really means “twice-born”. Once when you are physically born and come out of your mother’s womb. And the second time is when you really become aware of your mortality! Being aware of one’s mortality is not morbidity, it is the true reality. 

Someone said, “You Live Only Once”…. Actually, it should be “You Die Only Once”. You LIVE EVERY MOMENT!

So, while TIME will slip away every moment and take us that much closer to our end, the only effort that I really need to make is to ensure that my ENERGY is at its most vibrant levels. That way, I can enhance my experience of every moment to the highest levels. Enhance my perception of this magnificent LIFE all around me. Why search for another heaven, and that too after my death, when what we have on this planet is just that? 

And by doing so, I can really make my life, “Better Than Before”. In management terms this is akin to the Continuous Improvement / KAIZEN principle. 

So, whenever someone asks me “How are you?”, I should be able to confidently state “Always Better Than Before”! 

That can be a worthwhile metric / reminder to see if I am true to my goal of “Live Life To The Maximum”.
