Life is only once

Buddhism believes that life is a circle. Human being has three lifetimes.

If so, what will you like to do in your second lifetime ?

To do something you never did during this life?  Maybe go to the north pole to enjoy the polar light. Or go to the south pole to feel the ice mountain. Maybe you want to be a scientist to change the world. Or become an musician and play the beautiful magic notes.

I have a long wish list as you do.  And  call it my dream.   

In our life journey,we keep asking why human being exist ?

I don’t have the answer.  But the following natures can help us.

Water never be the same,they keep the creatures to be alive.

Bee has a short life, they helped the flowers to generate fruits.

Fruits only be fresh for few days, they kept the animals away from starving.

Gorilla only live for 50 years, they developed human beings.

Human being must have a mission.  We may need to be patient for the answer as history has a long time period. 

In our life journey,we keep asking am I really happy? It seems to have a complicated answer.

But for them, the answer is simple.

Yes, it’s heart broken. To this little baby, Life is too short and suffering. A word without war will make him happy.

For this child, Life is hungry. If each day he can has 3 meals to eat will make him happy.  

For those boys and girls, life is hard. If they can have a safe school building,  they will be happy.

For this lady, Life is not colorful. If she can has eye sight, she will tell you she is the most lucky girl in the word.    

Are we really happy ?  Maybe today we are staying in this nice room, talking with each other is a thing we should be happy with.

In our life journey, we keep looking for the meaning of our own life. How about look at some of them, which may inspirit our mind.

He is a normal Canadian surgeon. He risked his life came to China during the war. He saved a lot of people, and die for it, Chinese remember him.

She is a normal medical researcher. She and her team's achievement saved millions of lives.  The world thanks for her.

He is a normal German citizen. But his brave and kindness helped over 1200 Jewish people kept their life from death. people who love peace remember him.  

So how can I find the meaning of my own life ?

It may take your whole life to find the answer, but it will also pass very quick.To the universal, human being is so minor. Million years later, human may doesn't exist any more, same as the dinosaur disappeared. We never know tomorrow or accident which comes first. But there is one simple thing we can do. That is never give it up!

For the wish list we’ve made at the beginning.  Are those dreams really so difficult to achieve in this lifetime ?

Go to the north pole or south pole should not be a dream. What you need to do is keeping some saving and work out your time, join a travel agent.

Want to be a scientist and change the world? Start from your little idea, convert them into a real thing. Maybe your invention is funny, but it may be something big. Who knows interests will lead you to where.    

Want to be a musician?  Then start from pick up your favorite instruments, and find a teacher, practice each day. Five years later, you definitely can hold a small concert , invite your family and friends, have a nice evening enjoying your music.

Live in this word is already something meaningful.

Yes, human being is minor, we are short time existing individuals. But we are also unique. Each of us is the only me ! If we keep perusing our dreams, we either reached out dream, or on the way to reach our dream.  The meaning of our life will show by itself.

Remember, even if we have 3 lifetime, but we won't remember the other two. So in this life, life is only once. Don’t waste this chance. keep trying! Never give up!
