Today is the Last day of 2024. Steve Jobs daily asked – “What if today is the last day of my life?”

 

Dear Fellow Travellers,

 

Greetings from Hitesh! We are left with a few hours of 2024 before the year 2025 starts. We have mixed feelings. Today is the last day of 2024. Tomorrow is the first day of 2025. We have memories of 2024 and dreams for 2025. Incidentally, STEVE JOB used to ask daily – “What if today is the last day of my life?”. For him every day could be the last day. 

 

Last day Memories: - 

 

Remember feelings you had when you left your school in 10^th /12^th or college after your graduation? There were feelings of Missing somebody / Lot of memories were coming out and you were not able to express it, your eyes were flowing with tears. Remember the day your daughter was getting married and leaving for her husband’s place. Remember how you dealt with the last day of your loved ones – when he left for HEAVEN? Remember when you left India and went to settle abroad? Remember when you left your town to settle in a city? 

 

Above are some of the examples of LAST DAY in your life. There can be many such examples. But the feelings of the LAST DAY were the same. 

 

In Indian culture – normally, we go out of the way to fulfil all the desires of the person who is going to be with you on the LAST DAY. Am I right?

 

What happens when you apply LAST DAY TECHNOLOGY?

 

When you become Today Centric – you will focus on the only important task at hand. You will give your total attention to the details in whatever you do. 

 

Steve focused in totality and he created an iPhone which is most beautiful from outside as well as from inside. There is nothing which is distracting or troubling the eyes when you open the iPhone. It is only beauty. The end results – the company is still the most profitable phone manufacturing company in the world. His phone - iPhone is the status symbol.

 

What happens when you get ENLIGHTENED?

 

The great souls whom we worship as GOD – Mahavir / Buddha / Krishna /Ram / Mohammad / Jesus / Nanak and N number of other great people – they all had got the ability to be in the PRESENT MOMENT permanently. They were living TODAY only. For them, each moment was TOTALITY. 

 

So, when you start focusing on TODAY, slowly you are heading towards spirituality. 

 

How BUFFETT is applying this to investments?

 

Buffett uses the same technology of TODAY – but he uses different terminology. He says – I am okay if the market closes for 10 years after my purchase. How many of us can say this sentence?

 

He can say this because when he was investing, he was present in totality. He had given his 100% to the small details of the investment aspects. Once he had done that – there was no way he could go wrong. He is the only RICHEST investor among the top ten business persons in the world. 

 

When you do your work with totality – you are aligned to the existence. Because Existence is nothing but only PRESENT MOMENT. So, when you remain in the PRESENT – you are with the GOD (existence). When you are with the GOD, you can’t go wrong. 

 

How to invest with LAST DAY Feelings?

Just think that today is the last day of your life and you are investing your wealth for your future generations. How will you invest? Will you go for stable long term investment ideas or will you go for futures and options? Will you leave the easy to manage portfolio for them or make it complicated with tons of asset classes? 

 

If you follow this method – you will become a more and more disciplined investor over a period of time. 

 

The last day will give you NEW YEAR PRESENTS in PRESENT MOMENT. Make your choice.
