Life is too short, but just long enough


Life is too short to be spent regretting about the past, things you don't have, things you haven't done and places you haven't seen. Life is too short to spend it throwing negativity out into the universe; it only comes back to you. Never be awful to anyone, that person you were awful to may teach you the most. Life is too short to be spent holding grievances against one another, finding fault in your neighbors and brother, counting the wrongs done on you. We speak of a short life, but compared to eternity, who has a long one?
But, human life is just long enough to see everything turn upside down. Life is just long enough to enjoy the beauty of a sunrise the smell of blossom of the earth and the sound of laughters. Life is long enough for everything to be tried at least once. Life is just long enough to practice compassion and generosity, to comfort the grieving, to lend strength to the fainthearted, and direction to the lost. In God’s plan every life is long enough and every death is timely.
A LONG LIFE MAY NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH, BUT A GOOD LIFE IS LONG ENOUGH. -Shernan
