Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.
Hi 100-year-old-Anirban,
I am 25 now and you’re 75 years older than me!!! Can you imagine that?
You will probably read this letter 75years later. But it’s unbelievable! Really!!
I mean I am lucky to be 25 and alive. I bet you are one 7th heaven because you made it to the 100th year marks.
You get to be even more grateful than me because you have more experiences.
But do you remember what this blog is about? If not, then let me remind you dear Sir.
This blog is about hope and making mistakes to stop regret.
And so the title says “Just let go of all regrets and desires and be grateful”.
I have seen many old people who were unhappy before going to heaven.
I want to remind you to let go of that unhappiness, let go of your regrets, your unfulfilled desires.
And I want you to be satisfied and happy and think about God and be loving towards everyone in this universe.
I bet you married your crush, you became a millionaire by 50 and you raised great children.
But you are unhappy because you forget things, you feel lonely, people leave, friends don’t call you, and on and on. And all this diabetes and other ailments are of course frustrating for you.
But I still hope that you are alive to read this letter from your 25 year old self.
Because I am still grateful to God for what I already have.
I have a great family, an intelligent mind, writing skills, will get an MBA degree soon, and most importantly I am satisfied and happy. And grateful.
And you probably had started a startup, done your PhD, married her(you know who I am talking about 😉), and travelled all around the world… You should definitely be more grateful than me.
But what I mean to say,”We arrive in life with nothing, we leave with nothing “, “Nothing is ours”, and “You are already naked” as said by Steve Jobs of Apple. So be grateful for whatever you have.
I don’t know what you’ve been through because I’m only 25 and you’re 100. But I know you can do it. You can find satisfaction inside yourself. And be happy.
Regards,
Anirban
