I Was DYING !

India
March 12, 2009 1:24am CST
First I was dying to finish school and begin college. And then I was dying to finish college and start working! And then I was dying to marry and have children. And then I was dying for my children to grow up and get back to work. Then I was dying to retire. And now I am dying and I suddenly realised, I forgot to live. Dont let this happen to you ! Appreciate your current situation in life and learn to enjoy every day.

I agree with you. We are generally not happy with current situation. But in my case, sometimes i become emotional as I think this moment b never back in life.

Good, you are realising the moment and enjoying it. Only then can we become emotional of that time. Life is fleeting, so go out and enjoy every minute of it. thanks.

This is so true. We should all be thankful for what is going on our lives every day. Sometimes I wish I could go back to when I was in school and redo it all over again. It's amazing, I wanted to graduate and I even graduated a year early, now I wish I could go back because I think I didn't enjoy those times as much as I should have.

Yes, life passes by and we dont even realise its passed by, till we look back and by then its too late. So we must learn to enjoy all the small pleasures in life. Thanks.

Being too excited to finish makes it harder for us to concentrate on what's happening on the moment. My father always told me to be patient, to do what I can at the moment and not think of the future, of what supposed to be, especially if I have no control over the matter. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I am glad you enjoyed this discussion. Your father seems like a very wise man. Yes, being patient in life is half the battle won. We must just learn to enjoy life.

We must live as if it were our last! Always live life to the fullest and it is written in the book of Psalms...learn to count our days so we may live wisely... Let's make every moment count!

Right now, I am just "dying" to get my house sold and move on with my life. I am unemployed so it is easy to take time to live a little. Well at least as long as I can do free things. With no money it is hard to really "live".

Aw, that is bad new. Never mind dear, you keep smiling and hoping for the best. After every sunset is a sunrise, so look at the sunny side. It must be hard on you. Good luck friend and may you always smile.

Think positive always. In life it is natural to have struggles and problems that arise so that our faith can be tested. But no matter what, God is there to help us as long as we know how to help ourselves too. Try not to complain but instead be more thankful of everyday you live and you have your strength. Count all your blessings and be more considerate to others. Not only thinking of yourself more but others whom you can help. Choose LIFE, Choose God, Live according to His Will and I am sure no matter how far we run, as long as we continue to run the race and focus our faith in Him who is able to do everything for us, we will be victorious.

Thats exactly the point I am trying to show the world. Life just passes by and we forget to enjoy the ups and downs of life. I have full faith in my Lord and hope things ease of for all of us. Enjoy every minute of our life, for looking at the tomorrows, we forget to live in the present. Thanks.

Hey, Wicked way to share your thoughts! I totally think you are talking the complete and utter TRUTH! This is how we have been formed to live and we should live life to the full but if we don't live how you have lived, we don't get on in life. the government and resecsion is why we have to live like that. there is a big problem with money in england at the moment. especially trying to earn it! I think that if we all decided to throw our hands in the air and did somthing about it, maybe it would change! But until then.... we will carry on being and living in a nightmare! Oh Well! :)

Yes friend, we see the tomorrow and forget the today. We try to save for the future and in the process, forget to live today. Yes, with recession and taxes, life is difficult for one and all. I just hope things work out for all of us. Good luck and thanks.

I agree with the general direction of the thread. Sometimes people have to stop and smell the roses. Unfortunately when you're young like me and are just breaking into the working industry it is quite easy to become obsessed about your career situation, possible future career moves, and how much money you're making compared to anyone else. Luckily I realized there are more important things in life than money and thus I have decided to go back to school and pursue something that really matters to me. :)

Thanks for this. :) We're not reminded enough to live the day. In this society, everybody's in such a rush to grow up. Kids for example all want iPhones at age 8. What? Kids are rushing everything they have, dating before reaching puberty, wanting to get out of high school, needing to be free... it's awful. I really like this post. I think everybody needs to get in touch with their inner child and realize that whatever age they are, live it - you'll never relive this moment again. Once you turn 37, you'll never be 29 again. Ever. But you can still live like you're young. Again, thanks for this :)

Im glad you like the post. I realised life was passing by and I was not enjoying the moments going by. I fully agree with you, with this fast pace of life, we forget that time once gone never comes back. Inner child ! I like that very much. Thanks a million.

Congratulations for that realization, honey. In life we are pressured to succeed, sometimes from family or just society. We get so caught up in goals and the future that we forget about today. We forget that tomorrow is not promised to us, and we realize it too late sometimes that we should savor every moment. So you have the right idea. Keep reaching for your goals, but remember to enjoy the moment.

Life passes by so quickly, in the blink of an eye. We let it pass by without enjoying the small pleasuers in life. Its high time we woke up to this fact and faced life with a smile. Thanks.
