According a the bible, the world is 6000+ years old. As told by science, 4.5billion years old. The oldest person to be known to live? Died this year. This week actually at 127 years old. I know that there will be many people who do not agree with what I am about to say, but for the purposes of this post, it is an action required. Averaging that is.
Adding the Earth age according to the Bible and science, we get an average of 22 billion, 500 million, 3 thousand years.. (Don't shoot me if my math is wrong, I'm kind of rusty.) A lot of numbers right? Take the Earth average and compare it to the oldest person known to live.. Big difference.. Now, take that person at 127 years, and compare it to the final age of the people you know that have died.. Again, big difference right?
My point? How much time do we really have to waste? Be it one day or 100 years, how much time can you afford to sacrifice? Not be happy? Not live the best you can with what you have? Settle for anything basically?
Life truly is to short for a single moment of just getting by. Settling for less than what you deserve or dream of. Life is worth more than half an effort. Before you know it, it will be your time to die. A whole life may be wasted and on what? The one thing that science and the bible will tell you is this: Life is not guaranteed to continue past the moment and memory that make up right now.. So, do you really think you can afford to just throw it away?
I don't. Though I can tell you of so many people who live this way. If only for a single second they decide to waste precious time, energy, LIFE... On moments that are truly not worth the effort nor cost.
Settling for something has a much bigger effect on life then most give credit to... Wasting time and energy in life just getting by, not living, not trying, not having or at the least, going after what you want and what makes you happy is wrong. Unfortunately a lesson that to many people learn in the last minutes of life. Unless your choice is to live to settle.. What sense does that make though?
What is your life worth? How much time can you afford to just give away? Questions you should ask your self before you have run out of time to give away to the things in life that require you to settle or make you unhappy.
I have said it before, and will say again:
The only thing in life, worth life, is life.
Waste it, hate it, or wish it to be different. Or love it and cherish every moment of it. Only you as a person can decide what decision is worthy of guiding your choices in your life. Question is: What will you do with your time, while you have life?
Make sense?
