Le Closure of Time: Moments to Save and Lessons Learned
Imagine if you had a save option - just to save one moment in your life. If you ever wanted to make things right or just relive that moment you could just load and go back to that moment. Which moment would you save? Explore with us the moments that can change your life and the lessons we have learned along the way.
The Power of a Moment
People often wonder about the significance of a single moment in life. For me, the first kiss is a prime example. It might be the most romantic memory, but it was also the one that stayed with me the longest because it was never matched again.
Lessons from Oversights
There are moments that, if relived, could have profoundly impacted our lives. During my school days, and even in college, I endeavored to score more marks but at the cost of my health. I became overweight and was often judged based on my appearance, despite my various talents and skills.
I focused entirely on my career initially, but as time passed, I realized that being overweight is more than just a matter of appearance. It is a sign of poor health and can lead to numerous diseases. Unfortunately, over the years, I neglected my health, leading to drawbacks later in life. I regret not taking time to address my skin care, hair care, and fitness.
The Perfect Day: My Wedding
One moment that I would love to relive is my wedding day, and every day after that. Yet, I would not let myself become so complacent and lazy that my wife would eventually fall out of love with me. These are the moments that resonate the deepest and remind us of our choices and their consequences.
Mistaken Paths and Regrets
Consider the moment just before meeting my first wife. If I could go back, I would walk the other way. Similarly, saving the first phone conversation I had with my first ex-wife Beverly might have prevented 4 years of torment. These regrets are powerful reminders of the ripple effect our choices can have.
The Dream of Time Travel
What if we could live our lives over again, knowing the outcomes of our decisions? This thought experiment leads us to question the significance of those defining moments and the transformative power of reflection. Let's explore how different life journeys could have unfolded if we had the chance to 'preserve' our most valuable memories.
Seeking Inner Guidance
Apart from moments of personal regret, there are teachings and texts that can guide us on our lifelong journeys. The Bhagavad Gita, for instance, has significantly influenced many, including Mahatma Gandhi. Its teachings on patience, perseverance, and understanding have been sources of solace and inspiration.
Key Practices:
Geetha Teachings: Dedicate at least an hour daily, preferably before sunrise, to read the Shrimad Bhagavat Geetha in its original Sanskrit or a preferred translation. The context is crucial for a thorough understanding. Further Knowledge: Explore other spiritual texts such as the Holy Bible and Holy Quran. Understanding the context and origin of these teachings can provide deeper insights.These texts have the power to shape our lives, much like how A P J Abdul Kalam, J Robert Oppenheimer, and Ralph Waldo Emerson have been influenced. Yet, it's the personal stories and the changes they have made that truly resonate.
Precautions:
Avoid Critics: Be wary of discussing these texts with individuals who might criticize them, weakening your resolve to improve your life. Seek Company: Surround yourself with individuals who share your commitment to reading and improving your life.In conclusion, if we had the option to save and relive certain moments, it would shape our lives in ways that might be unimaginable. Whether it's about learning from our past mistakes, or seeking inspiration from spiritual texts, there is always room for improvement and transformation.
