Important Life Lessons. A Response to Ecotrains Question of the Week...

What lessons will you take with you for your potential next life if you die tomorrow!? This is the question posed by @eco-alex for #ecotrain .

A question that got me thinking deeply and which bought to mind a realization I once had.

Our body formation came about because of our actions

With that said one must take into consideration one's birth circumstances and the years lived as a dependent (oh! We owe our parents so much for bringing us up and getting us to a point where we could take care of ourselves!)

Now just think on this for a bit.

Think of what it is you put into your body, is it junk food or something that keeps your body healthy.

At one point I had lost my health and had to fight to get it back. This bought about a real appreciation of the care my mother had given me so I could grow up healthy. This appreciation kept me wanting to take care of my health for I valued having a healthy life.

One thing that will show up in your body is if you have ever abused yourself, let your desires get so overpowering that you don't even recognize what you are doing to yourself.

Another thing to look at is your activities. How do you spend your precious time (it is limited you know!)
Are you just chasing after your desires or being pushed around by your every whim? Or do you have more purpose?

It is when I take responsibility for my actions and do things that have meaning, not just flit away my life, that I feel joyful. My body responds likewise being light and very capable.

So in my next life I would take that realization and I would be very clear on what it is that has meaning to me. That is where I would keep my focus. That is where I would put my energy, towards a meaningful life, a life with purpose and an appreciation that I've been given a human birth once again. A life to live to the fullest!
