While watching a movie called 'Big Fish’, i was made to wonder what if each one of us knew how we gonna die, won't that allow us to live life more fearlessly & encourage us to take more risks?
In the movie i mentioned, the male lead somehow came to know how he is gonna die. Knowing which he made some unusual choices which no one else would have dared to make. Realizing his dreams one after the other while taking the road less traveled, turning his life into an adventure trip.
Seeing people around me trapped in their monotonous lives, i felt it could be a great idea. All our lives we run after security, in terms of a well-paid job, huge bank balance or relationships. While later on these so called securities becomes bondage in itself for us. We allow something invisible to stop us from realizing our full potentials. We get easily stuck with mediocrity. Living our lives under the shade of an unknown fear, fear of loss, fear of pain. Being afraid of making the right choices, choices that we would have made otherwise in the absence of that fear. We just refuse to look beyond our comfort zones. Loosing all the zest for life, making it look like a punishment.
I say what's the point, if we are simply not happy with the choices that we are living by then what's the use of making such. Instead why not dare to go with our heart & choose. May be we get criticized or mocked around initially; still at least we will be satisfied within our heart with whatever we have.
As rightly said by Ayn Rand (Author) "Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.
It’s not always that we die because the body dies but sometimes it’s the spirit of life in us which dies out long before the actual death....
Let’s make our lives worth living by keeping the spirit alive.... :)
