What's your life mission?

.
All cells in our body undergo biological aging process at different rates and - in the end - death is inevitable. Our life spans have limits. The connection between telomerase shortening mechanism, aging process and lifespan limits has been uncovered. Death is not that mysterious anymore.

There are many spiritual books which also tell us that every human being has his own mission in this world. Once the ultimate mission is accomplished, then that person’s life is getting near its end too. That’s why I feel that I must identify my own mission too.

Because of the simple life I have now, my most crucial goal is clearer. I have three children to raise and guide to their own future.

Therefore, I’ve set my own lifespan: till the age of 65. That’s plan A and I also have plan B in case my above mission is not accurate and I die sooner.

I picture my three children by the time I reach 65 years old as follows:

1. Ninta, whom will be 35 years old, will most probably already be a wife and working mother
2. Aqmal , about 30 years old, will already have his own life and career
3. Rania will just have graduated from university ... and that's it....she's my final mission.

Plan A is not a secret. Ninta and Aqmal know it. They have to understand facts about life and death and I want them to be able to step by step identify their life missions too.

What's plan B?
This blog is a part of it. I've told Ninta to refer to this blog whenever she has a problem in her future life. I hope she will advise Aqmal and Rania the same thing when they have grown bigger.

I use a different approach for Aqmal as he is still very young at the moment.
That time in December 2008, Rania had been ill for more than a week and I became sick too, most probably due to lacking of sleep. I had high fever. How did I feel? Did I feel miserable? No, I enjoyed my condition. It's the perfect time to give my son, Aqmal, a lesson.

Aqmal was playing a computer game. I lied down on the bed next to him.
I said : "Aqmal...I'm sick...very sick..."
Aqmal: "Hmmm..."
I replied: "Mal...I think I'm dying..."
Aqmal: "Hmmm..."
I replied: "I'm dying..."
Aqmal: "No, you're not ...you're just sick, but you're fine..."
I replied: "I'm dying..."
Aqmal: "But you said you'd die at 60's"
I replied: "I'm dying now...Please promise me that you'll take care of Rania and not make her cry anymore..."
Aqmal: "Hmmm..."
I replied: "Aqmal...I'm dying...Will you take care of Rania, if I'm not around anymore?"
Aqmal (finally): "Yap..."

The high fever lasted for three days and gave me a change to repeat the same dialogues with Aqmal for several times. I needed to make sure that he got my message. I wanted him to be a good brother for Rania...in case I die young...!
