Packed Schedule-No time!

 

Do you know we are all packed with default life activities that drain our quality time? The life expectancy for an average Indian is 70 years. Every country’s life expectancy is around the same number. Here is the little math's calculation on how it is spent. Life has 600,000 hours is usually spent this way:

 ~ 230,000 spent sleeping,

~ 140,000 spent entertained,

~ 120,000 spent working,

~ 40,000 spent eating,

~ 20,000 spent getting educated,

~ 10,000 spent exercising,

Leaves with ~ 40,000 hours.

Most of the scheduled activities are fixed and nothing much can be done about it. So, what are we actually living for? Do we even have a purpose? Mark Twain states, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”. We seldom try to find our purpose for our existence. At the end of the day, we make arrangements to ensure our basic needs are taken care of today, tomorrow, day-after and for years, and then there is no end to chasing luxury throughout our lifetime. Sometimes our religious activities come under the bracket of entertainment, enjoyment, merry making and it is gone.  Do you see those 40,000 hours? What are you going to spend them on?

As Richard Bach states, “we design our lives through the power of choices.”. And those choices will only make sense when aligned with the true purpose of our lives.  To bring clarity and meaning you need to find your creator and savior of your souls. Today, we are busy creating gods out of our imaginations, with our hands and design our own rituals to satisfy a god we have made. But the reality of God is entirely different. Most of the time we don’t want to know the truth about Him, because we are scared, we will be convinced.

God is not a strange, weird character expecting weird things from you, but He was incarnated in the human form born of a virgin and made a provision to liberate man from the sinful nature. That is Jesus who died on the cross and remembered in history because of His resurrection from death.  The question is not a comparison of who the big God is but who is the God who conquered death. And if He made it, then we have a hope to make it too, to live in eternity with Him. He made a strong statement about eternity by these words, “Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God: Believe also in me. I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.”. Try to know Him and have fellowship with Him. Your purpose in life will give you hope and enlighten others too. The question is not about religion but about knowing and establishing a relationship with your creator and savior.
