WHAT ARE THE LESSONS PEOPLE MOST OFTEN LEARN TOO LATE IN LIFE?

The body dies slowly... oh so slowly... due to the marvel of modern medicine you could easily spend the last 5-10 years of your life being stuck in a bed without the ability to do pretty much anything.

The constant pain? That's the least of your problems.

No walking. No talking. No eating. No friends. No parties. No dancing. No events. No socializing. No reading. No arguing. No laughing. Even wiping your own behind will be something you will need external help with.

If you are lucky some people that claim to be your family members will occasionally come to visit you once in a while for a few hours. You can't really communicate with them, and they talk to you like an idiot... but it's ok though, you only understand about 10% of what they are talking about anyways.

It's not for a week or a month. Years and years of living like that. Patiently awaiting death to come save you from this horrific torture.

You had all your life to reach the right conclusions, but you avoided it. Well now you have all the time in the world to really think about what you could have done with your life. What you should have done.

Don't take your body for granted. One day you might not be able to get out of bed. Give gratitude and love every day to all your body parts and organs. Not only with words (Some healing modalities believe that your organs have souls too), love your body by taking care of it. Exercise, stretch, eat right. Your body serves you so well, serve it in return.

Don't take your relationships for granted. One day you might not be able to have any real relationships. Give gratitude and love every day to all your relationships. Don't waste your precious time on people that don't deserve it.

Don't take your time for granted. Remember that first kiss when you were a teenager? It was yesterday wasn't it? That horrible depiction in the beginning of my answer? It will be tomorrow! You have time Now to live your life to the fullest Now. Don't wait.

Love is the answer. I don't know what's the question, but I know the answer. Love is the answer. Anger, jealousy, hatred, fear, judgement- all these things just make you connect with dark energies that don't serve you. Love is the only right choice. What would Jesus do? What would Buddha do? What would all the masters do? They would choose Love.

Altruism instead of Egoism. Serving yourself is always fun. Unfortunately it's also the source of all evil. 

Tranquility instead of setting goals. If you spend your life trying to reach goals. You will reach a goal, be happy for 5 seconds, and then set a new one. Making you unhappy 99% of the time. Strive to reach tranquility instead. You will reach it by following the advise I wrote above.
