| We need to remember that we are mortal. It's time to live in the moment and celebrate each and every day. Image: Lifehack Quotes. |
Yesterday, we brought you the story of the wonderful lady who has just turned 116. She attributes her longevity not to lots of expensive and fancy medication, organic smoothies and elaborate fitness regimes, but rather sleep, love, and lots of positive energy. She is an inspiration to us all!
As the availability of different incredible medical treatments and revolutionary medicines continues to grow, humans are living for longer than ever before. In England, for example, life expectancy has risen from 34 in 1541 to 80 in 2011 (according to statistics on the Our World In Data website). Many scientists now believe that humans could even be a-mortal, that humans would never die unless they were killed, by 2050.
Whilst it would be wonderful for us all to live to the grand old age of 116, or even a lot longer if medical advances continue at their current rapid rate, we must be realistic.
We must accept that we are all mortal and that,at some point,we will die. So rather than endlessly wasting our precious time finding our how we can live and live, we need to focus on the here and now. We need to enjoy, and indeed celebrate, each and everyday, and make the most of every experience and encounter.
A life where you value and cherish each and everyday will be much for fulfilling than a long, drawn out existence spent bored, dull and in fear of death. So don't count the days, make the days count.
