If I could live my life over

Aging-Process-from-Old-to-Young-l

If I could live my lifefrom the beginning, I would relax more.I would be more reckless than,what about herlife. I would climb more mountains,

I would swim in more rivers and I would see more sunsets. I would havemore real problems and lessfictitiously. Sure, I've had my moments too,and if I had to live again, I would take care to be more. Yes, I would try to live only great moments, the one after the other. And I would pick more daisies.

Nadine Steer, 89 years

Most people don't find out what the real meaning of life is until it's time to die. Then, when confronted with their mortal nature, they awaken and perceive the deeper meanings of life and realize all that they did not experience.
Life can be tough in this regard. Very often, the gifts it bestows upon us may not be perceived until the end.
When we are young and have our whole life ahead of us, instead of living, we tend to procrastinate. "Next year I will spend more time in nature or laugh more or love more. Next year I will spend more time with my children and read the greatest works of literature. Next year I will see more sunsets and make better friendships. Nevertheless, now, I have other things to do".
Man-in-the-mirrorThese are the common refrains of the age in which we live. Well then, personally what i learned is that, if you don't start taking action in your life, life usually acts on your behalf. Days become weeks and weeks months and, before you know it, life ends.
So the lesson is clear: Stop living life leaving things to chance, and start living by planning your life.
Re-enter the game and take action to create the richest reality, that deep in your heart you know you are meant to create.
Start living your life today as you wish you had lived it when you are now just before death.
Or to paraphrase Mark Twain, live your life so that even the undertaker cries at your funeral.

In our distant India they tell a tale,
απ’ the ones that make you smile,
because they have a surprisingly instructive ending..
miniaturemoghleShah Jahanr
Once upon a time there was an emperor , who had chosen as his personal advisor a very wise old man
but which had a great defect, he kept repeating,
“whatever happens to you is for your own good…whatever happens to you is for your own good”…

.

.
But the emperor even though the “fault” of the sage irritated him, she kept him close because his advice and wisdom, they were very useful to him for this reason as well, he always took him with him, especially when he was moving away from the palace.

A rainy day, the emperor decided to beautify himself and after being washed by the women of the court, he asked the barber to shave and give him a manicure.
But while the barber was cutting his nails, there was a thunder so loud that the emperor and the barber were so frightenedwhere the barber cut off the emperor's little finger…

Screams, pain and anger overwhelmed the emperor who fell upon the barber in great rage :
“Fast to jail, unworthy, you cut off the emperor's finger, you will rot in prison for the rest of your life!”
Then the wise old man intervened and started repeating again :
“what happens to you is for your own good…, whatever happens to you is for your own good”…
The emperor full of rage, he shouted:
“That's enough, with this nonsense, I got tired of you all these years and you in prison, so you will be able to n’ you listen to your own crap for the rest of your life!”

The next day the emperor, to vent and relax, he decided to go hunting in the forest, alone of course, since he had imprisoned the old sage who usually followed him everywhere.

While in the forest , suddenly he was surrounded by the heretic warriors of the goddess Kali, they captured him and were very happy to find a victim to sacrifice to their goddess.

The emperor, he shouted, she screamed, he begged, but nothing.
They had decided to sacrifice him to the goddess Kali who was the goddess of evil and celebrated that day.
So they dressed him in the special cassock, they anointed him with their holy oil, they tied him to the altar and while the leaderhe was ready to plunge the knife into his heart, he saw, with horror, that a limb was missing from the victimhis little finger, cursing and spitting he loosed him, for they were not permitted to sacrifice one who was not worthy andso they let him go…

Still dazed, the emperor quickly ran to his palace and on the way realized what had happened, the wise old man was right and fortunately in that accident the barber cut off his finger andthus his life was saved.
What mattered one little finger less in the face of the danger he had run through;
Better alive and with one less finger than dead!

Arriving at the palace the emperor, he immediately went to the prisons and freed the barberand then he went to the wise old man, entered the cell, hugged him and told him:
“My friend, forgive me, for the harm I have done to you, how blind i was.
I was captured by the heretics of the goddess Kali and while they were about to sacrifice me, they saw that I was missing my little finger and let me go, you were right my friend, “what happens to us is for our good!”
Forgive me my friend, you will always be near me and the whole kingdom belongs to you…
But now please tell me, you, that I put you in prison, “which is the good thing that happened to you;”
.

Calmly the old man looked at the emperor and answered him :
“You see, Your Excellency, if you had not imprisoned me I would have accompanied you, as always, in your hunt in the forest and I do not miss a finger…!
“Everything that happens to us is for our own good”.
