How to live after you die

Does everyone die?

--The question dates back to the morning when an earliest version of Chimpanzee's brain decided to evolve into a human brain (or may be even they might have had such questions on Sunday nights- who knows?).

It might seem as a simple question on surface, but the deeper we dive, the more complex it becomes- just like that of an ocean floor. If we roam around there for a while, in fact, we might find some dead people walking alive - and the answer to the question, everyone doesn't die! In truth, we all have an option to live even further! Yes, to push ourselves further into future.

Let's take an example here - the story of Pranyas Development Foundation. Pranyas is a baby, born last year in India from the vision of a future leader and the determination of a bunch of inspiring people. Their aim is to connect the two extremes of society- the poor, uneducated slums and the educated.

Remembering Gandhi's words - "If we want to reach real peace in this world, we should start educating children", it is obvious that the result of adopting an entire slum and educating all its kids is a far reaching effort. Pranyas Founder Rahul re-quotes, "Individuals always have limitations, but a collection of individuals/organizations doesn't." Thus the power of a group of inspiring people is in fact limitless and that will definitely leap into future.

There are plenty of amazing efforts across the globe, spread throughout the timeline of our species so far, which lay seeds into future, with all its power to blossom in the coming spring. From Nelson Mandela to Elon Musk, thousands of great leaders have planted their part by inspiring millions of people across the globe to dream and to create a difference in the right direction - into the future.

What does that mean? May be - death is a limitation only when we limit our true potential to spread ourselves??

Being born as a human gives each of us an amazing gift by birth - the ability to influence others. When we make others' life better, when we influence them, we are investing a portion of us - our seeds in their baskets. Every single person that carries a portion of us spreads that to more people around him/her and all those people starts to carry a unique portion of us within them. If significant enough, butterfly effect will bless us by carrying them forever into future!

In short, the more difference we make, the more people we empower, the more we live. And the ones who inspire others to make a difference in the right direction will live forever- through other's lives. So, death is only optional! Choose wise!
