We work through our lives , to make our lives.We earn, spend and go through the rock and roll at various stages of our lives.Somewhere during the professional careers you get the KRS'S and KPI'S, with terms like objectives, goals, vision and mission etc. We live through that , get appraised and look forward year on year improving our living standards.
In the whole process do we really plan out our personal lives? We work to a shifting goal post and really don't have an end in sight.Life being so unpredictable , one keeps doing some financial planning, health at some point of time and try to probably achieve that so called " WORK LIFE BALANCE".Coming across various situations in my own life, set me thinking if I could possibly set a goal and work backwards , where in I can hypothetically set a goal for my self and start living life to the utmost , every day, every moment with a set time clock that ticks backwards.

I set up a chart with a goal of reaching 70 years .The objective being, not to be a burden on my kids and loved ones, seeing and understanding your own health equations looking at the world today and the deterioration people are set to make out of it.The other part is while you can physically take up challenges ,do those now and keep the mental abilities , if fate allows , for later.Temporary amnesia, selective amnesia may follow , but would help achieve the milestones you set for your self.Many would argue as to why so low a target or otherwise.It's purely up to an individual to set it and could vary .The main purpose being, are we having a plan and working towards it? If you do , you will realise there is a purpose to live in life and you can actually enjoy those milestones.It gives you the space , time and money to get those.The sense of achievement , that you accomplished something that you set out for is also there.
This way you could see the world , in time , before your legs revolt.You could complete your adventure trips before your lungs puff out.Eat and enjoy the sizzling brownies and ice creams before you become to sweet a person , carrying a sugar factory with you.Spend quality time with your loved ones, which i consider to be invaluable and precious.These moments don't come back and its therefore important to live by the moment.The elders at home would love to understand your situations in life and how you tackle them , provided you could spend time with them as well.You could plan a little better for them , and give back atleast something for the years they spend on bringing you up.Live the child's life and babble around with your little one , and don't see them grow horizontally at the rate at which you travel.Living out of a suitcase is not life.
Keep a tracker, look back and then blog ......live those memories again.Revisit them, share them and feel blessed.
