Mortal Life and After life

I have always put up the brightest side of me in front of everybody.. perhaps it's time to reflect what i really want in life, and start living a life i have always dream of, before time runs out in this mortal life.

As a Leo, i'm naturally an adventurer.. there are a list of activities to do before the end of my life - a bucket list.. i want to travel the world, dive into deep ocean, hike mountains around the globe, do bungee jump, jump off an airplane - sky diving! go for a work and travel, learn a complete different language, camp in the jungle, build my own house (not literally of course), start my own business, perform by a street etc..

As a buddhist, I believe in life after death, i believe the existence of 18 hell realms and also the heaven, not forgetting also reincarnation. So it's said that one is experiencing certain events in present lifetime, which is a consequence of your past life, which is also known as karma.

And because of this, i always tell myself, no matter what happens, as long as i've tried my best, whether the journey is good or bad, it must somehow relate to my past life. And in this life, let's try to do more good things than bad.

Things may happened unexpectedly, people come and go.. Some may just be a 'visitor', some may linger slightly longer in life. But 1 thing is that, no matter young or old, rich or poor, when the time comes, everyone have to call an end and leave this mortal life. And if we're lucky we'll have enough good deeds to get us a ticket to heaven.. And by then, it is stated that one will realize, whatever that happens in mortal life, is absolutely not important..

I hope i can flip to the end and take a peek in this story of my life, like a book.. but certainly i can't. So i guess i'll just live life at its best, and see what awaits for me in future and at the end... One thing for sure, no matter what happens, stay happy. As afterall, the actual, real life, starts after death.
