Imagine if our remaining time on earth was displayed as a power bar, much like in a video game. At birth, the bar is full, representing our typical life expectancy. However, as we go through life, the bar constantly decreases, reminding us of the fleeting nature of our existence. It's also important to remember that the power bar can abruptly end, game over, at any moment, emphasizing the need to appreciate every moment as a true gift and not get caught up in trivialities and inconveniences.
Reminding myself of this helps me be aware of our short time here, to live an intentional life, appreciate the little things and focus on the important.
Looking up at the night sky has a similar effect, I often wonder what the heck are we doing here? 😂
