Life is short, but as one gains in health, one’s life span likewise lengthens to give greater opportunities to serve. Normal life expectancy varies between the sexes, and environmental and socio-economic factors also play their part. But what if, instead of living three score years and ten, one had twice as many years ahead?

Unrealistic it may seem given the average decline of health. But rest assured this figure is more accurately indicative of the life span of our current generations. The only hindrance to attaining such longevity is our neglect of our health, both personally and environmentally.

And what if, in this time span, one could live thus free of pain, in good spirits, vital and alive at every stage, only to then leave this realm at one’s time and place of choice? Does this sound like science fiction, or can you envisage such a reality as this within your own life?

Naturally the question begs, what is one to do, and how could one afford to live so long upon the earth? More of life would be devoted to developing one’s creative skills, and service rendered would be rewarded with ample means to pay one’s dues. And joyful would this life be where one could give of self and know that benefits were plentiful for others too. And health and vitality would be constant companions such that there would be no impediment to living a purposeful life.

What say you to such a proposition for your current life? Time is short, but if you have the will and destiny, you could demonstrate such gifts for all to see.
