FINITY

When you come to think about it, nothing is infinite and nothing is permanent.

TIME is finite in the sense that there are 24 hours a day for everybody and there is an end of time one day in the future (maybe not?)
ENERGY is finite just by checking with your body and you will know how exhausted you are after a day's work or when you are sick in bed.
MONEY is finite in which I mean there is only so much you can spend on even if you are a billionaire.
NATURAL RESOURCES is finite just by looking at the environmental mess we have created.
WE are finite creatures on this earth and will cease to exist one day.
ATTENTION is finite as we all get bored one way or the other when our attention span is stretched thin due to worldly distractions.
PHYSICAL SPACE is limited; so easily overlooked if you are not inhabiting in major cities like Hong Kong.
RELATIONSHIPS are finite in the sense that you can only connect with a certain number of people in a lifetime.
MENTAL CAPACITY is finite and that's exactly why we must declutter our mind of trivialities and focus on only things that matter.
OUR BODY is finite as it decomposes and become ashes at death.
TALENTS are finite in the sense that we can't be good at everything.

As I age, I become more aware of and accept this harsh fact of life while paying more attention to how I live my life. I get to intentionally choose how I'd like to spend my time and energy only on things that really matter to me. Instead of squandering my limited resources,

• I make the best use of my time and try to do good a day at a time (Carpe Diem)
• I only spend my energy (which is depleting forevermore as you age) on activities that bring me joy
• I become more watchful in what I spend my hard-earned cash on (less is more!)
• I try to do my part to be kind to our environment
• I will only focus on things which align to my beliefs and my values
• I am decluttering to make space for space
• I am working on networking and be more sociable and be less of a loner
• I avoid taking in things which are meaningless and get them out of my system in order to reserve my brain power for more meaningful stuff
• I will strive to develop my gifts and let go of things I have no talent for.

In other words, I am simplifying all aspects of my life to focus on just the most important. This is a life-changing decision if you allow yourself to be in friendly terms with finity.
