We all know that we do have little time on earth.
Therefore, one fundamental question that I would like to ask is: What is the best way to spend our time on earth?
Over the years that I have lived on this planet, I have heard about several different ways we can accomplish our existence here and i still wonder which actually is the best version of them all.
Iam here to share my opinion on different versions of how to live on earth and spend the limited time that we have here.
1. Seek for spiritual enlightenment.
Some people especially the philosophers have long been teaching us to seek spiritual intervention while we are here on earth.
According to the teachings of Jesus Christ, there is life after death and the only way to live the life after one has died is to believe in him.
Some religious beliefs have adopted the idea of reincarnation.
This simply means that a person who lives well without any wrong doings on earth will one day change his or her form into something that they desire to be.
While according to the teachings of prophet Muhammed(peace be upon him), his faithful servants and followers will be rewarded with seven virgins.
In my own opinion, religion is good for humanity simply because it shapes the societal behaviours but am not sure if actually it is the best way to live. You can ask me why?
The truth is religion limits our ability to live since there are rules to be followed that leaves us in captivity.
For example have only one wife. What if i enjoy a polygamous lifestyle?
2.Seek ease and comfort.
Another way we are told to live is to seek a life of ease and comfort.
That is the kind of life where by you do not struggle too much and you enjoy the things that you have.
You little or no risks. Most people around the world are living a life of comfort and ease.
Majority of these people workvin corporations or in other organizations.
They believe that they have reached the peaks of their achievement and therefore sit comfortably either in office or the different work place.
They want the status quo to remain.
All they want is to keep their jobs and nothing else. Keep that money flowing into their bank accounts.
On the surface this looks like the best alternative but again in my own opinion, it has limitations.
Since you are not taking risks seriously, you end up leaving many opportunities on the table.
In short, you do not live up to your potential.
And in the worst case, there are high chances of having regrets at the end of your life.
3.Seek service and adventure.
Another way of living a very fruitful life is to seek a life of service and adventure.
When you seek a life of service and adventure, this literally means that you do not fear taking risks.
You keep doing the things that you desire to do and not even the fear of failure can stop you.
For example if you have an idea to start a business, you just start without any hesitation, you write that book without worrying about readers, you record that song without worrying about who will listen to it.
To me, living a life of service and adventure is the best way humans can live their life on planet earth.
Simply because you will have no regrets at the end of it all. Good luck.
