How much time left?

If anything can be equated with "God" to me, then it's time. Time is a quantity, if we measure it with our conventional tools, then time is relatively manageable and you can "calculate" with it.

Everyone divides their time personally. It usually depends on day or night, working life, special events such as birthdays or appointments in general. Everyone is born, then the time that we call our own life begins to run out.

There are few exceptions and people live to be over 100 years old. 80 years is possible in some industrialized nations, while in parts of the Third World people sometimes only live to 35 years. In Germany, the average is around 75 years. But a few years more or less in statistics doesn't matter. What is far more important is how you deal with your own lifetime.

Let's say if you're 47 today, do you have a plan, an idea of what should happen until you reach the statistically end?

I think every year that we are allowed to live in health and contentment is worth being watched closely and cared for. We should never be careless with our remaining time. Here at Club 115 we count the lifetime in hours instead of years. I myself only have 390144 hours left. Then it's over and something "different" begins. Publishing this post took 1/2 hour of my life.

The journey is more important than the destination


The journey is more important than the destination. The goal is our path!

My father always used to  say "when I retire ... then I can do this and that ...". Well, unfortunately, this wishful thinking could not be implemented with him. Advanced diabetes has largely taken away his sight and thus his love, talent, skill and diligence in painting was suddenly stopped. And that pretty much at the same time as the pension notice. What a sad turning point. What does this teach us? 

 Do it! And do it now!
