Days of our Life's.......

After a certain stage in life,.......

....... a few days to unwind are just a dream and every hour is accounted for and priced accordingly.

In average, a man lives 27,375 days...

 

Let’s say the first five years are just a warm up before the big game and the last 5 years are for stretching and relaxing. 

That means we only have 23,725 days at our disposal. When you are turning 30 you have  ONLY another 14,600 days to use..... 

So instead of really using it in a meaningful way many rather watch TV & let the day slips-away waiting for the weekend.

At 30 you have another 4,171 weekend days (2 days per weekend) to enjoy.  So basically you waste 10,429 days 'waiting' for the weekend.

The numbers are so cruel but if one could only  place a giant counter or a huge hourglass in front of the TV I’m sure many people be much more productive.

Have you ever heard that expression? “Killing time”? 

Why would anybody want to kill time? 

Sometimes people smoke a cigarette to kill time and end up killing themselves. 

Time is still going..... 

Maybe thanks to modern medicine we live longer so time’s value has descended. 

Or maybe thanks to technology we can do more in less time. 

Or maybe thanks to anti-aging creams we can turn back time completely. 

Whatever the reason is, we feel we have too much time on our hands....!  

We accept in relative peace the fact we have to spend our time standing in traffic, waiting in line, wait for people running late, wait for partners to make up their mind, wait for the stock to go up, wait for the price to go down, wait for the big chance, wait for a promotion, wait for the holidays and sometimes we just wait with no apparent reason. 

So, why we do NOT mourn every day gone by? 

Every week? 

Every month? 

On a contrary, we celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, new years as if making it,  -is a cause for celebration.......

There is a saying “time will heal all wounds” but what about the wounds caused by time?  Lost of youth, missed opportunities, wrong turns, friends lost, time NOT able to spent wisely with family 'missing' or already passed on..... 

The list goes on.....

In his book ‘The Alchemist‘, Paulo Coelho claims each person gets one chance to change his life each day......

What about making use of that every precious day ?
