Who Only Gets One Life?

Control your life, you control you destiny.

There’s an old saying that you only get one life, who? Last time I checked we get many lives to play in this place called life. The question is, What will you do with it?

Your first life, you play the role of a baby. Then you evolve into the toddler stage where the world is such a curious place. Then the child stage where we learn about how things work like our bodies because of the many falls and bumps and bruises. Then the teenager stage, where we question friendships and trying to figure out love.

Life Unknown to the World

The young adult stage where the the first job comes, getting your license, first car. Then adult stages, where we figure out that life can be full of so many different things that can be good or bad for you.

Find Your Passion

That’s 6 lives already and you’re just getting started. Then you reach the getting old stage where our bodies are changing and we come to realize that we are no longer the young energetic person anymore.

You finally become the elderly which turns into 8 more lives if we make it this far. Where we have went through life left with many memories, some regrets, and more time.

Enjoy Life No Matter What

As an adult, you have so many choices of the life you want to continue living before becoming the elderly. Now this portion of your life, before the elderly stage, can take on many different roles which will require you to live a certain life.

If you decide to take the path of becoming a doctor. You will live the college life then medical school life which will transform how you look at the human body inside and out, and microscopically. This can lead to so many possibilities that can be life-changing and life-saving.

If you choose to take the path of becoming an artist. Then you may take the academic or the non academic path where you become an animator, or graphic designer, freelance painter, sculptor, etc. Also these 4 could be done by the same person. This can be 12 lives for this person in this space, well past the nine lives cats have.

You Got What it Takes

If you choose the path of becoming a business owner. Another venture that can be achieved academically or not. But if this is the path, then either way, you must have personal development intact because there are many things mentally one have to possess in order to make that business work, and one will take on many rolls at first.

You will have to have the entrepreneurial abilities to get past the hard portion of the business, or that life role will fail. Just know that it won’t be perfect to take on this healthy role. There will be some ups and downs. But you already have learned that if you fall down, you get back up and try it again.

Possibilities

However many lives you choose to live is up to you. But remember this, choose many to find your true purpose of the life you were given. Because even though you can live many lives, your time is still limited here on earth, so go at it as if tomorrow is your last day to live.

Time Waits for No One!
