We talk about life and living now and then. But rare are the times when we address the real and only undeniable truth — “Death.”
We keep fearing, stressing, being anxious, jealous, obnoxious, doubtful — full of maybes, ifs, and buts. And life goes on; days pass, months pass, and so do the years.
On this bridge called life — the one that connects birth and death — we go through a lot: emotions, situations, experiences, and everything in between. We carry different mindsets at different times, shaped by the phases we live through. But while going through it all, we deny the most undeniable truth — that with every moment spent, we are moving closer to the other end of this bridge.
So, why just spend life… when we can live it?
Why not live with freedom, with the excitement of knowing that when I reach the verge of my last breath, I can feel content inside — that I truly lived?
And that’s why I believe in going all out.
When you love someone, love them with all your heart.
When you befriend someone, make sure they feel they have another soul in their life — someone they can always count on.
Be it career, people, decisions, or life itself — go all out.
Make sure to leave behind good stories — stories that keep you alive even when you’re gone. So that the ones you loved remember your presence as a peaceful, cherished memory. Let them tell the story of you as someone they felt lucky to be loved by.
Leave behind stories of friendships, good bonds, and selfless moments — stories the next generations can look up to.
Leave behind the vibes that speak of your goodness, compassion, and humanity — a reminder of how beautiful a human being can be when they live with purpose and kindness.
I mean, why stress about tomorrow, which is not even promised, so much that you ruin the today you’ve been blessed with? Why be anxious about something unseen instead of being grateful for the breaths you are taking right now?
Be your own therapist, your own best friend — the best person you’ve ever known. Feel lucky about being you — no external validation needed. Because you’ve already got enough — you’ve got yourself. And that’s enough. In fact, make sure it’s more than enough.
When you finally reach the end of this bridge called life, may your goodbye bring sorrow — not because you’re gone, but because your goodness left an imprint too deep to forget. May people try to fill that void with the same kindness and compassion you once spread. That will be your legacy — to be remembered as someone kind.
And just living with the truth that I’m going to die someday — a day I don’t even know — I can’t live half-heartedly. I’ll try my best at everything that matters to me.
And that’s what I live by.
And I think you should too.
Hope it brings a shift of thought.
Signing off — Arpit.
