Live Life Every Moment

SOMETIMES I wonder, why people crib so much. If you observe, you will find that people don’t enjoy life because they are always cribbing. We never enjoy what we have got and we are always envious of what others have. It is good if instead of complaining, we act to achieve the objectives that we have set for ourselves. The Bhagwad Gita says, “karma kiye jaa, phal ki chinta mat kar” (one needs to do only work, the fruits of his/her work will be taken care of by God). In the process of achieving our next goal we must thank God for what he has given to us to date. You must enjoy whatever resources you have at your disposal and work hard to achieve more.

There are so many examples in each and every field, where life has not proved to be kind. Life can be cruel and hence, it is quintessential that you enjoy it to the fullest because you don’t know what will happen the next moment. If you look into the field of sports for instance, this point will be proved. Subhash Dixit may be taken as an example. A budding cricketer, Subhash Dixit, who despite having great talent was not selected for the Uttar Pradesh Ranji team following some political manoeuvres.

The rising star faded and was not able to cope with his deteriorating financial condition and he ended his life a couple of years ago. Then, there is Faraz Ahmed, a national-level hockey player who also became a victim of selectors. Left without any option, he now earns by making keys in an alley of Lucknow. The latest such case is that of star Indian hockey player, Baljit Singh. Baljit sustained a career-threatening eye injury while he was practicing at camp in Pune. Baljit’s right eye’s retina and lens were damaged. He underwent an eye surgery at New Delhi’s AIIMS hospital a few days ago, but doctors have not promised too much. It has been ten days since he was operated on, but vision has still not returned to the injured eye.

At a time when everything in his career seemed to be falling into place, this injury comes as a huge blow to Baljit. He was at the peak of his career and fitness. There was nothing to stop him until this injury happened. Life can be very cruel at times.

You must enjoy each and every moment of your life.

There should be no time for complaints and inaction.
