"La vida es larga si sabes cómo usarla"

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:

Life can seem longer and more fulfilling when you make good use of your time. If you spend your time doing things that matter to you, like learning new skills, helping others, or enjoying moments with friends and family, each day feels rich and rewarding. Think of it like this: if you spent a day doing something you love, versus a day where you just waste time being bored, the first day feels more valuable and memorable. For example, imagine two people: one person spends their day watching TV shows they don't really care about and the other spends their day reading books they love, going for a walk in nature, and cooking a nice meal. The second person will likely feel like they had a more meaningful and satisfying day. We can apply this to our lives by choosing activities that bring us joy, learning new things, and finding meaning in our daily routines. By doing so, we make our time feel more meaningful and don’t feel like we’re just passing the days. This way, even though our lives may be the same length as anyone else’s, they feel much fuller and longer because they are filled with valuable experiences.
