I thought about two quotes and life lessons from Kabir and Steve:
I wanted to connect them together!
Imagine this: You have a magical coin, but it only works today.
Tomorrow, it's gone! What would you do?
संत कबीर दास, Kabir, Kabira, a wise man from India long ago, said
काल करे सो आज कर, आज करे सो अब ।
पल में परलय होएगी, बहुरि करेगा कब ॥
Something similar: Don't wait till tomorrow to do what you can today; don't ever wait for today; the time is yours; do it now.
The world might change in a blink, and then it's too late.
He called it "parlay," a big shift, like a wave washing everything away.
Across the ocean, Steve Jobs, a tech giant, asked a similar question:
"
If today were the last day of my life, would I wanna do the same thing what I am about to do today?" He wanted us to think about whether we're living our best lives, not just waiting for some magical "tomorrow."
Both Kabir and Steve, in their own ways, tell us the same thing:
Live life now!
Don't waste precious moments on "should-haves" and "maybe laters."
The future is uncertain, so grab hold of today and make it amazing.
Think of it like a delicious cake.
Every bite, every moment, is yours to savor.
Don't wait for the "perfect" time to take a bite—life is too short for that!
So, what are you passionate about?
What makes your heart sing?
Do it now!
Learn that dance, write that song, and tell that person you care.
Every step and every choice shapes your own beautiful story.
Remember, the future is a blank canvas.
Today, you hold the brush.
Paint it with your dreams, your passions, and your love for life.
Don't wait for "parlay" to remind you—seize the day and make every moment count!
Parlay in this context refers to the unexpected in life or to this whole cosmos.
