LOOK , look around wait a second and think, is this the life u thought or dreamt about having when you didn’t had limitations put upon your thoughts , when you were free to dream , but are you chasing them now or you just think that it’s ok and letting it be. Life is short. Your whole life could pass by for you to even come to the realization that HAVE YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE OR MERELY EXISTED?
The lure of comfort in giving up seems appealing, but to live you’ll need to change, make choices and sacrifice. Or it’s better to die without even tasting the lavish palatability of living, the joy in being happy, to be free, not regretting the life you’ve lived.
Let’s do a little story time,
“My grandfather was living a life that you could say was given to him the one that he didn’t enjoyed and was being controlled. But he refused to accept a life where he only existed. He knew that everything comes with a price and so was his freedom and made some hard choices, and left behind everything to learn the joy of living chasing his freedom, his happiness. He traveled the world all alone explored and most importantly controlled his own life it was not easy but you know what he got was happiness, freedom. He explored and found himself because those years of solitude he was living, he was living a life he was not going to have regrets about.”
May his soul rest in heaven the man who accomplished living and happiness.
Sometimes, the mirage of “letting it be” can make you lost. The life you are “living” think how much of it is being controlled by others.
John green writes in his book “turtles all the way down”
“Of course, you pretend to be the author. You have to. You think, I now chose to go to lunch, when that monotone beep rings from on high at 12:37. But really the bell decides you think you’re the painter, but you’re the canvas.”
Controlling your OWN life but are you really. Are you sure you are not only existing. Freedom don’t you want to know what’s it like to do what makes you happy, when you are not a puppet anymore, the strings controlling you would be broke. The way people tell you how and what to think, WHO DECIDES? YOU? ARE YOU SURE?
Think about the boy who became a shepherd because he wanted to travel and left behind everything to live but imagine if you had a daughter would you rather let her marry a shepherd or the baker who also wanted to travel but gave up on it just cause he cared what others think he got trapped by the “whom would they prefer” forgetting his own dream. Living demands hustle, but existing is easy, it’s easy to give up and do just what needs to be done, neglecting your own happiness. If you were to make a choice whom would you chose? The shepherd? Really?
_____Reference from “THE ALCHEMIST”
People tend to lose the path to their destination when the dense fog of “What will they say?”Starts appearing. The “they” matters more than your happiness , freedom and YOUR LIFE. But you know who Lived though, Hellen Keller , the girl who was blind and deaf , she LIVED more than anyone having eyes could ever live , she saw more than we see with our eyes.
In the end, don’t waste your life in existing start living. Question yourself is this the LIFE you wanted before it gets too late. Ask your self would you do the same if it was your last day. Remember to cherish the small things that we seem to take for granted. Think beyond and out of the box. AND BE YOURSELF.
_______Live each day as its going to be the last.
