Life Management

I believe many of us at different points of time have thought of managing self better
Many of us may have even participated in sessions with hopes to change for the better
Many of us may have reflected on the famous four quadrants of Urgent & Important Matrix
Many a time we may have never yet implemented the lessons and continue to be in a fix

Just imagine that you have retired from active work and you don’t need to work for your pay
Just imagine that you have sufficient financial resources to support your life long stay
Just imagine that you lack complete clarity on life but have been blessed to find your way
Just imagine that you need not be a part of the rat race and be ever in a competitive fray

How many of us really know what we will do should we be granted a life-long holiday?
How many of us have any clue on our desires beyond indulging in activities to earn our pay?
How many of us have really absorbed that time on Planet Earth is really a temporary stay?
How many of us have reflected and committed to live differently as we continue our play?

Are you going to spend time lazing around and fulfilling all your physical desire that matter?
Are you going to spend time interacting and relating to people to understand them better?
Are you going to watch movies, play & listening to music, indulge in idle talk and chatter?
Are you going to play active sports and take up fitness programs to help you turn fit faster?

Are you going to visit places be it beaches, wild marvel of nature or an architectural wonder?
Are you going to indulge in photography and differentiate by capturing moments of blunder?
Are you going to go all-out shopping, look out for the best bargain as you aimlessly wander?
Are you going to learn a new hobby and cultivate a new interest as you learn to surrender?

Many of us may have wanted to read up books that guides us on the ultimate life purpose
Many of us may have wanted to spend time with spiritual teachers to help look beyond gloss
Many of us may have wanted to understand our religious tenets and stop living life in a mess
Many of us may have waited for the right moment to take a break and eliminate our stress

How many of us have actually thought in the larger scheme of things do these really matter?
How many of us have reflected on the truth that what we run after will sometime gather rust
How many of us have truly absorbed the essence that many attractions are not really a must?
How many of us live life with an awareness that eventually one day we return back to dust?

It does not mean that we avoid taking actions, stay silent and only do prayers & meditation
It does not mean that we stop taking interest in life and display our ultimate realization
It does not mean that we avoid having social contact and indicate a life cycle completion
It only means to live life consciously & aim to find your life purpose in your form of creation!
