Eaten up by nothing

Every single person you have ever met is hurtling towards the same destination.

The billionaire.

The bus driver.

The king.

The comedian.

The tragedy is not that life is short.

It’s that we are so easily distracted from living it.

We are eaten up by nothing.

Worries that never happen.

Trivialities that steal years.

Which brings us to today’s lesson.

Don’t take the wrong things seriously.

Take kindness seriously.

Take love seriously.

Take your dreams seriously.

Take the shortness of life seriously.

But do not waste your precious days carrying bitterness, envy, resentment, because you took yourself too seriously.

We’re all going to die.

What a circus.

One day, when you are near the end, you would give everything you own for just one more ordinary day like this one.

And yet, here you are.

You have it.

Right now.
