We often forget that we live for a certain given number of years on this earth. This essay attempts to look at life span from a different perspective, which will transform the way you live.
Life span perspective.
There can be many perspectives of and about life.
I am attempting to look a little differently at life …. from the perspective of “life span”.
Let me begin with a question:What is the average life span of a human being?60 years ? 70 years? 80 years?.
Let me begin with the outer limit of the these three options – 80 years.In this case, I am taking 80 years life span of a healthy body and mind.
Let us look at a typical 24 hour one day of our life:
Let us begin with the night : We need sleep and would spend on an average of 7 to 8 hours of a day sleeping.
Let us take the routines that we perform in the morning – abolutions, break fast, travel to work, other chores etc… and the average time we spend can be taken to be about 4 hours.
Therefore, the total hours we spend on our sleeping and the routine things we do on an average, would come to 12 hour.
If 12 hours is spent in a day consisting 24 hours – we are left with 12 effective hours – i.e we have only half of day as an effective day.
Taking this perspective, our 80 years of our life consists of only half that number of years – that is 40 ”effective years”.
Let us count the first 5 users of life as the years being nurtured by our parents and that reduces the 40 figure to 37.5 effective years. Let us not deduct this from our effective years and stick to 50% of our life span as effective life span.
Let us look at our age :
If we are 20, it leaves us 30 effective years.If we are 30, it leaves us with 25 effective years. If we are 40, then It leaves with us with 20 effective years.If we are 50, the it’s levels us with 15 effective years.
The scenario will change if we look at our life expectancy as 75 years or 70 years.
Let me illustrate:
Let us take 70 years as our life span. In that case our effective life span consists of only half that number of years – that is 35″effective years”.
Let us look at our age :
If we are 20, it leaves us 25 effective years.If we are 30, it leaves us with 20effective years. If we are 40, then It leaves with us with 15effective years.If we are 50, the it’s levels us with 10 effective years.
We nurture dreams to realise them one day and to do things which we love to do which are close to our hearat… Each one of us have dreams things dear to us apart from our normal work. But when will we achieve them?
We earnestly hope that one day we will begin working on our dream and the things that love that are close to our heart. But the years roll by. More the number of years roll by the less time we are left with to pursue our dream.
My invitation to you is to look at life span in this perspective and i am sure there will be a paradigm shift in the way you will live and work on the dreams dear to you.
So, when will you begin working on your dreams dear to you?
