This week started on a very tragic note. A friend of mine lost her husband in a senseless accident. Hearing this heart wrenching news made me realise life is like the sand in our hands , slipping away with each ticking minute.

Life is too short to squander it on trivial matters

Life is too short to crib, rant and rave about

Life is too short to hoard belongings and then leave them all behind

Life is too short to waste it on rancour, hatred and spitefulness

Life is too short to drain it with stress and work pressure .

Life is too short to just exist and not live

Life is too short to be rigid and inflexible

Life is too short to be judgemental and temperamental

Life is too short to be critical, censorious and condemnatory of others

Life is too short to be nervous, jumpy, jittery, agitated and fearful .

Life is too short and hence understand it’s fragility and crumblier ethos.

Life is too short to hold on your ego and self importance , just let go instead

Life is too short to delve into the past and peer into the faraway future

Life is too short to brood and fret of lost opportunities and worry if it was a life defining event.

Life is too short to care about snooty people around us and better to ignore the contemptuous disfavour.

Life is too short to get into a comparison mode with others rather, focus on making a better version of yourself.

Life is too short to cry over spilt milk and be upset over something which can’t be redeemed

Life is too short to not read books , watch movies , trek, take vacations and spend time with your loved ones

Life is too short to pine for someone who doesn’t value you , needs you or cares about you

Life is too short to be stuck in a drudgery and unremarkable routine

Life is too short to be planning, saving and then realise life has passed by you when you were busy fostering self denial

Life is too short to regret the mistakes and mull over failures

Life is too short to brood over our shortcomings and imperfections

Life is too short , enjoy it as you get only one life . Laugh loudly , throw all your inhibitions as all we have is ‘ Now’
