You have probably heard the saying that life is short. Many older adults will even warn the younger generation that life moves quickly, so they should try not to later experience any regrets or remorse over missed opportunities.
But what makes many people, once they’ve reached middle age or older, feel as if they’ve “missed out”? Is it because they were habitually hesitant to make new choices? Is it because they rigorously maintained a daily routine, without any variations? Is it because they’d moved through life without full and passionate involvement? How can we be more engaged and fulfilled, no matter what we are doing?
What is the most important thing in your life right now? Sadhguru reminds us that it is only because we are alive that everything else became important. Life is constantly ticking away—but that means it’s time to smile, not frown! If we can be fully alive every moment, then we can live joyfully and exuberantly, by our own nature.
