“All things will come to past.”
“Time changes everything.”
“The future is not guaranteed.”
What is the one word in each truism that connects with one another as a common factor?
It is “time”.
Our life on earth is measure in time. We can use it to our advantage or we can waste it. Once we loose it, it is gone forever (We cannot say we will store time and use it later). It is all up to us.
The 3 truisms are universal truth or certainties of life (as certain as the sun will shine in the morning and sets in the evening). No one can deny it or say it is not true.
Truth No.1. Time does not stand still. It keeps on moving. That’s why we cannot manage time. We can only manage our activities. Today will soon becomes yesterday and tomorrow will soon becomes today. It will come to past. History will take place.
Truth No. 2. Nothing stays the same. Nothing is permanent in life. Time changes everything. The only constant is change itself.
Truth No. 3. No one knows whether he or she will live to see another day. Only God knows.
Taking the 3 truths into consideration, what should we do? What should we do to live a quality life? To live a quality life ultimately means being happy.
Well, we have a choice. We can make happiness a destination or we can make happiness a journey.
If we make happiness a destination, it means we won’t be happy until something happens. It is just like saying “We will be happy when the weekend arrives. We will be happy when we got our bonus. We will be happy when we got promoted. We will be happy when we got married. We will be happy when we have a car, a house, etc?” But the day may not come as the future is not guaranteed.
Our better bet is to make happiness a journey. A journey we decide to take on a daily basis. In other words, make happiness a daily decision. If we die abruply today, we die with full accounting of each day well lived!
A rich man can still be sad if he decides to be sad, if he decides to see the negative side of things.
A poor man can still be happy if he decides to be happy, if he sees the positive side of things.
