Are you ready for the final Destination?

If I am correct, then there would not be a single person in this world, who has not been living with this myth that he will not depart from this world. We spend our whole life live in this myth that we will live on this earth forever, even though we all  know very well that “life is a journey” which will end one day no matter what.

I am not talking about normal people those living in this misconception, even though highly spiritual and well connected to the god, people also live their life in this belief that they know when they will die or they can write their own destiny.

Fine enough, that you know better than others, but my question is.

Are you ready for your final destination? Have you prepared for yourself, for your last journey, did you settle all your debts, and did you clear all your dues? There is nothing left behind to make a further clarification.

I am sure 99.9999% people will not have any answer to all these very simple questions. The truth is this, we as a human assume that we will not die; we are in this world since forever. In most of the cases we are so scared to accept this fact that one day we have to leave behind everything here.

More or less people can claim that they know very well about this savage and ugly truth and not only that, they are not afraid of their demise. Withal, this truth  and my question stay in its place that, are you ready for your final journey?

And, I am sure the answer will be  “NO” in most of the cases and by chance if you get some answers as “YES” but they have no answer for this, have you completed your job or prepared for yourself for final destination?

It’s an irony that even we go for a small trip, we prepared ourselves for everything what could possibly may require during the trip  as money, clothes, food, shelter, trip tickets and not only that in some cases we buy the trip insurance as well but what about final destination?

 What we have done so far for that unavoidable journey which we have to take sooner or later?

First, we should accept this fact that one day we have to depart from this universe and second thing that day will not be the day as per our wish. So, why we should not begin preparing for this journey at once.

Some of you may say, I am too pessimistic about life, however the truth is I am very optimist and want to live every moment of my life or this journey.

What I have concluded with my experience is that the average life of a normal human is approx. 70 to 75 years.

If as of today, you are 55+ or above, consider you have lived the better part of your life or in my words, so far you have completed The journey to

“The Disney Land” as a youngster,“Golden Valley” as an adult and “going up on Everest” as a middle aged person in your liveliness.

Farther, in this journey, chances are you will experience a “Sleepy Hollow” valley or “Scary Crow” sceneries or “Witch Craft” castles.

The point is at the young age, many things are for granted as charm, stamina, will power, good healths etc., however, as you become older and older these things become slipping sand.

Here, I am not trying to discourage or demotivate or scared you guys what I am trying to say that when we get an announcement that our train will reach on its final destination at that time, should not we  have to start to pack our bags before its arrival?

Here is the outcome of my life, it could vary person to person but end of the day you have to draw your line or in other word when you feel it’s a good time to make a preparation for this trip.

If you are 55 and above, now it is the time spend your time like a miser, every moment of your life should be spent on the thinking that I have lost one day.

Before going to bed at the end of the day think, what I have done for myself, which I can carry forward with  for the next journey, here I mean is think about what you did good for mankind.

Try to set a low target for the next couple of years, if you work very hard, but could not enjoy the outcome then what was the point of doing so much? Bear this fact in the hard ways, If you have not achieved so far, chances are, either you are not capable or it was not for you. This will give you great cause for satisfaction.

Be optimist about living in the life, every moment is your moment, your family, relatives and friends, all are not going to miss you after your departure, the world never stopped for anyone, so don’t worry about them, enjoy your  remaining life, do what ever you want to do, don’t care about anyone anymore.

Your clock is ticking and time is passing by every second. You have done enough so far for them, let them feel their  responsibilities.

Try to reduce your debt as much as you can, don’t leave any debt behind you, nobody cares, how much you spend or gave to them, end of the day people doesn’t want to pay your debt. Now, It’s time to start taking action.

Now the time has come to finalize your final will, don’t leave this for tomorrow, your little negligence will make a big chaos after your departure, it’s better to decide everything at the time you are well and healthy, don’t think you can do this tomorrow, “Remember tomorrow never comes”.

Never ever give all of these things, e.g. money, power and possessions to anyone till you are alive, keep a control of these things till you are awake, you can declare nominees, but do not giver ownership to any  of your near & dear. Make a clear declaration about the distribution of your holdings as soon as you can, to avoid future fights among your heirs.

Prepare a list of all of your bank accounts, properties, stocks, etc. and secure this list to some solicitor with proper instructions that who will be responsible after your departure.

Try to think about your health, time and happiness, time is limited for you, if you  involve yourself again in the worries of next generation, you will be stuck in this loop for forever and when the time will come to say “Good Bye”, you will be wondering,what I did for me? Why I did not endure for my felicity? Why I did not manage any good for humanity?

First think about yourself, let them deal their problem in their own style. Remembers, only your “Good Karma” will die with you nothing else.

Most of you may wonder, this is not the age to worry about these things, people live happily up to 70 or 80 years, I am sure, all of you are right, however, how many of them leave this world with proper “Good Bye”, the majority of the people has no idea when will be the last day?

So, why should not start making preparation for the final destination now and enjoy the rest of the journey.

You might have seen in the train journey, some people sleep till their station comes and when the station comes to close, then they are rushing and grabbing their  stuff, you can do this without being panicky.

After 55 you have 20 to 30 years of life, but the fact is that most of the time you may not be in good shape, you hardly have 5 to 10 years as a regular life after that every day will be tough and tougher, so why should not enjoy the time when everything is in good shape. This is the last chance to enjoy “Good Food”, Sex, Movies and Tourism, after that you may be doing these things, but could not enjoy what you might have done in early age.

The unfortunate truth of the life is this, we waste our good time in chasing for the materialistic things, building our possessions and collecting money from one bank to another bank, but when the time comes to enjoy this, either we have no time or have no health.

At last, if you can’t enjoy your life today, I am certain the same thing will be tomorrow. One state of affairs which  will be in favor today and may be against tomorrow.

If you are well prepared for final destination, you will not be surprised when the time will come and I am sure your love one will give you a real thanks for your actions.
