THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN OUR LIFE

Ever considered, who is the most important person in your life?  The person who rises up early in the morning with the thought that the kids have to be sent to school. The moment the school bus leaves, the next thought is – bread, milk and other daily provisions have to be bought from the market. That done, the next immediate thought is rushing to the work place. The machine in the disguise of a human immediately gets ready for the battle with the outside world. The fight in the form of competition or the race to accomplish starts as soon as the car ignition is switched on.

As the car moves on there are various thoughts occupying an individual.  As the petrol burns further the mind constantly keeps thinking.  Work has to be completed in the office. In this fast-paced world, even a Carl Lewis is left behind.  The race is not a 100-metre sprint, it’s an endless marathon. To compete in this longer version of the race, you have to be much better than a Kenyan long-distance runner.

As the fight for life goes on, the person who takes the maximum bruising is self. The most important person in your life that is yourself is the least taken care of. It is always better to relax.  One needs to take life at a moderate pace.  It’s much better to realize this fact. Before life sucks the breath out of you, take a break. Take time out for the most important person in your life.  Meditate, do yoga, keep your eyes closed and think about yourself.  Only when the person inside your skin is safe and healthy can the others be taken care of.  It’s not important how fast you ran. What is most important is how you ran. Take time – just think over it. Before it is too late.
