Reclaim your life *Are you the person you want to be? *
This topic is inspired by a recent ad of an SUV in India called Tata Safari which talks somewhere of the life most of us are living. The ad shows a corporate executive with a sad de-motivated face telling himself, ‘I always wanted to resign on a Monday morning.’ Then it shows a senior corporate executive sitting in a board meeting looking through the window to the rainfall outside telling himself, ‘I always wanted to chase the rain.’ Then a guy telling himself with a surfboat in hand, ‘I always wanted to swim with the whales.’ Then it shows a pregnant woman in a hospital saying, ‘I wanted to take a break for a year and see the world.’ We all, at some point of time in life, have felt this way.

Statistics in the USA sometime back showed that almost 50% of all heart attacks between age 25 and 45 happened on a Monday morning. The reason is that we are stuck in work and jobs which we don’t want to do and thus there’s no passion left in life. I always think of those famous words from a friend’s letter which I’m sure we all have heard it: ‘First I was dying to finish high School and start college and then I was dying to finish college and start working. Then I was dying to marry and have children. And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could go back to work. But then I was dying to retire. And now I’m dying and suddenly I realized I forgot to live.’ Continue<http://tickledbylife.com/index.php/reclaim-your-life/> http://tickledbylife.com/index.php/reclaim-your-life/ best regards *jacobboth...@gmail.com* -- Who is Panna Lal? <http://tickledbylife.com/index.php/who-is-panna-lal/>
