You define your life span

The heaven does not define your life span but you yourself do. It is true that you are given your life from the heaven but it lasts longer if you take good care of it, and it ends earlier if you do not.

It all depends upon your intention either having longer life or shorter life span. If you were born healthier and stronger than other people, living with your desire would shorten your life.

If you were born weak, living following guidance of this book would lengthen your life. The whole thing depends upon your intention, and then the life span cannot be defined by the heaven.

If you were born to die earlier, longing for the longer life and follow the guidance, it is possible to realize your wish. Here is an example. Let us suppose the fire on thick branches. If you bury the ignited branches in the ash of your fireplace, the fire will be there for long. If you put it on the ground where the strong wind blows, it will be dead quite soon. If you keep oranges on the counter top, they will shrivel soon. But if you keep them in the dark storage space, they may stay fresh till next spring.

The Yojokun tells you that your will, mindset, thought is the utmost importance to live. There are so many people who commit suicide. They wished death. They have not wished to see tomorrow. How would their spouses feel? How would their parents feel? All of the sentiment turns inwards. What if you look out to the world a bit? There is always the new and excitements happening, it is sad and wasteful.
