One day I was watching an old video of Jim Rohn, he was lecturing about life, it’s essence and following one’s purpose to fully live it. It was a very big audience, a thousand of people by that time gathered paid to come and watch this man speak. Most people were fascinated about his simple life yet he’s a big success that almost the whole knew him. Remembering the main course of the lecture, “HOW TO WORK ON YOURSELF (Self development)” he touched a point about living a life of purpose. A lady from the audience fascinated by the topic just like me asked a question saying, “Mr. Rohn how do you find purpose in life and how do you live it”.
He calmly responded with a smile on his face by asking a lady, “Ms, if you were given 24hrs to live, will you still be doing what you’re doing currently?”
Shocked by the question, she said no. This got me thinking how oftentimes we waste so much of our lifetime on things that don’t bring fulfilment into our lives. I asked a pal of mine to taste it out, he told me. He would spend the remaining hours calling his mom, Dad, relatives and friends to tell them how happy he is that they’re part of his lives, he further went on to say he would use his last post to tell people to live truly to their lives, to take risks and not hold anything back. I snapped him out of it and said what’s holding you back right now to do what you said you would do. A moment of 10 seconds silence came after the question, digesting our conversation he took a moment to do what he just mentioned before.
This life is a paradox, we don’t know when our times is up but when it does, I hope you would have done what’s truest to yourself and those around
Good morning folks
