Need for reflection

Letter April 30, 2020
We only have one life to live and it is important that we make the most of it

ISLAMABAD: We only have one life to live and it is important that we make the most of it. In order to live a meaningful life, there are two things that are necessary to master. The first one is to take control of time rather than letting time dictate your life. It is important to organise your life and make it more efficient. Everything should be planned and a person should be aware of the goals he or she wants to achieve.

The second is the need to reflect on everything that is happening. At the end of the day, we must take a moment to reflect over what we have accomplished throughout the day. This allows us to figure out how we can change ourselves for the better. It helps us ponder over our actions and its consequences.

It is important to develop these habits. Such tasks are not easily mastered. They take sacrifice, patience and control. Humans tend to procrastinate. But if we are able to incorporate these acts we will be able to control our lives. With such approach, we can carve out a bright future.
