"It's not that life is short; it's that we waste a lot of it." - Seneca
Yes, our time on Earth is finite.
It is true that our clock starts ticking as soon as we're born.
We can say that our time here is short.
That our time is limited.
We're each given a limited amount of currency in the form of time.
It is the only currency we cannot gain back.
Once it's spent, it is gone.
So how well do you spend your time?
What value do you put on it?
How does the way you spend your time fulfil your purpose in life?
Yes, it may seem like our time on earth is short.
If you waste your time on things that attribute nothing to your purpose.
Life can also be seen as a long journey.
If you are spending your time on yourself.
On your goal.
On your inner purpose.
This is a fulfilled life.
A life of contentment.
When you are living a life of true fulfilment, life is neither long or short.
Life just is; as it was meant to be.
Strive to live, live to strive.
