See you later

How many times have you had someone tell you this just before you or they depart? “See you later!” These words are one of hope and love. Unfortunately, we all know how life works. Here today – Gone tomorrow. It is more like, here now, gone the next moment. No one knows when we have to exit this stage and when our role will come to an end.

I have completely devoted my life to living such that I have no regrets and no fears. I do what I want to do, say what I want to say and live the life I want to live as best I can. I urge you to do the same.

The next time you hear those words “see you later” I want you to stop and think about the person who is telling you this or the person you are telling it too. Is there something that you need to tell them? If this really was the last the time you will see them, what will you do or say?

Let’s get real. We all have to die. We all have to leave our bodies and set off on another grand adventure. When people die, we mourn them, even if they are our parents or our children or our best friend, but we manage to move on. We are built to survive. We are built to be strong and cope with whatever adversity comes our way. We are survivors. We are stronger than we actually give ourselves credit for. However while we do have the people that we have in our lives, lets love and appreciate them and enjoy each moment that we have with them. Life is passing by – make sure you don’t miss out on the most important thing in life – sharing love.

Take joy in the time you get to share love with someone; something that is precious to you because life can take them away from you in a heartbeat.

Last week, I lost my best friend. His name is Dr Kuben Nair. I wish I never had to blog about this, but here I am. Kuben, was truly one of the greatest human beings I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was everyone’s best friend. There is no one that can deny how big his heart was. He represented the attitude every doctor should have, and the quality every best friend should have. I am not certain what awaits us after death – but I wish that wherever he is, that he is living an amazing life experiencing just peace and love. I will miss him a lot – but in his honour, I will aspire to live the way he lived and touch the lives of thousands of people. His spirit will always live in my heart.

Treasure the people in your life.

I love you, Hitesh
