What is a lifetime?

According to where you live it is from 60 - 80 years with a little more in every country for women.
.
Women tend to live longer than men
.
The insurance standard for life is though is shorter than 60 years in many countries
.
So let´s look at life in a different way
.
We all spend a great deal of time in childhood, where we learn nothing much, before we understand how to use our own senses so that we can acquire knowledge.
.
We will of course acquire impressions.
.
But these are indefinite and crude.
.
So to be fair we have to subtract this period of childhood from our 60 years.
.
One third of the rest is spent in sleep.
.
And the greater part of the remainder is wasted as far as development is concerned, in the struggle for existence.
.
Because for most of us our time is spent trying to make a living.
.
Trying to earn money to pay our bills.
.
So how much time is left for doing anything much except to gain enough to eat and a place to sleep?
.
Of course you can go out and win a gold medal or create a fortune.
.
We are not talking about this though we are talking about what is a lifetime, what is it for?
.
Real growth, real lessons that last from life to life is what a lifetime is about..
.
Looked at this way it is clear that one life is sufficient to learn one or two major lessons and not much more.
.
And so this is how it is, in each life we have one or two major lessons to learn.
.
We can only grow while experiencing life.
.
We assimilate what we have learnt in life when we are at rest ''off planet.''
.
Then we come back again to renew our journey towards enlightenment.
.
So one life is nothing in this journey.
.
Just enough in fact to begin to understand what it is all about.
.
A lifetime is what you are in now and notice that time is not what it was when you were young.
.
Everything has speeded up.
.
Yesterday is already forgotten in the rush of today.
.
Day's in fact are now about sixteen hours long.
.
Not literally but in how we experience them.
.
And so it is with our lives.
.
Time passing ever faster.
.
Make the most of each day.
.
Modern lifetimes are going ever faster.
.
Your lifetime too.
.
Have you figured out what lessons you are here to learn?
.
Things like why you get angry.
.
Spin out of control.
.
Don't feel good enough.
.
Don't feel loveable.
.
Takes a while to see the reoccurring patterns.
.
A clue if you do not pay attention or learn your lesson then nature will keep bringing the same experiences back to you until you do.
