Never Get So busy Making a Living that you forget to Make a Life

When your young, you focus on certain things in Life. In middle ages, you're priorities change. As you age,  they do seen very different from where you started. The most critical stage is the first one, wherein you are young, you're healthy, you're ready for the challenge, you're ready to do whatever it takes, you're up to the challenge, and you're ready to burn the midnight oil in order to get ahead.

 But one thing we will all go through is that we get so busy with trying to make a living, that we forget to live a Life of our choice. In our drive to get ahead, and to prove things to ourselves and others, we are ready to do anything to get ahead. Success seems to be only motivator, our sole goal, but only when you get to the second stage of your Life, do you realise, that you were so busy making a Living that you forget to Make a Life.

 The irony is that we realise it only after we missed the Bus of Life. But as we try to realign our priorities, understand what we value, what we really enjoy, what we really need to do, we are in the last stage of our Life. That is when we look back at Life, and the time, that we had which we didn't do what we could have done, should have spent more time, doing the things we wanted to do. It's not one of regret, but one of realisation, and about having been so busy making a Living, that we forgot to make a Life.
