A happy preparedness for death

Success is the manifest face of several little efforts persistently taken in a single direction. Success needs persistence. On the way to success there may be many petty failures and distractions. However, the final outcome will be determined by an individual’s consistency in his pursuit. But is success all in life?

Life has a beginning and an end. But the time lying in between these two ends must be lived fully and meaningfully. A life well lived is the greatest kind of success on earth. It is true that many times life gets entangled in useless things and considerable time gets wasted. Such entanglements and distractions are a part of life but to rise above them and give a meaning to life is a greater virtue of all undying souls.

Unnecessary past broodings and useless future apprehensions kill a lot of positivity. Therefore, to achieve success and fulfillment in life, one’s life must be lived from moment to moment. On each day set your priority and think of investing the day in the most useful and meaningful work that supplements your life’s ideals and cherished goals. However, everything becomes easy when we start living from moment to moment. Somebody has rightly said that you cannot do anything on two days in your life: One is YESTERDAY and the other one is TOMMORROW. So live your life fully and responsibly for TODAY,

Life is very short-lived. But we normally think & behave as if we would live for centuries to come and consequently fail to understand the value of each moment that God has granted us. The wise thing is to live one’s life so well that he/she is prepared for death at any time and still has no regrets. In this context I would like to quote a line of Amitabh Bachan from the movie “Budha Hoga Tera Baap” because it comically projects a person’s real preparedness for death. In that scene Amitabh stands on the gunpoint of a hooligan. However, Amitabh is seen to prompt the hooligan to fire at him at once. He says,” Fire the bullet at me; I would love to be killed with a bullet and not with sugar or blood pressure.”
