If I am still alive in three years, I think life will be a lot more fun than it is now. I am hoping to be engaged fully in creative projects like writing more books, traveling, keeping fitter than now and practicing mindfulness more deeply than this day.
Other than that, I guess I am open to life throwing new opportunities that will excite me. But most of all, I believe I would like to do something to give back to society; to live a rich life – rich in thoughts, contentment in my heart and gentle in spirit.
Three years don’t seem far. But it is a long time. And the one thing I hope I don’t do is falling into set patterns of growing older. I think life will bring me to a phase that feels more new than old. After all, age is just a number.
Three years from now, I will possibly be happiest in the present. I will have stopped generating unlimited desires and would have at least trekked one serious mountain. I would have made a ton of new friends. And I would have given up on all belief systems detrimental to my wellbeing.
And three years later, I believe, like a soldier, I would be ready to say goodbye to life, if the time comes.
P.S. Interesting prompt that forced me to think about the not so distant future. I look forward to start working on the things I mentioned. This is a special post. I shall have a printed version on my wall as a reminder!
