Being alive and living are 2 exclusively separated concepts
This feels weird, How do I pour out the thoughts that have haunted (or rather blessed) my mind for the past few months non-stop. The thoughts of living and being alive being totally unrelated (buuut obviously in one direction only lol cos yo! if your ass is dead you won't doing any living lol)
Without wasting anymore time let's get to it (I'll try and keep it short, but hey I'm already short and too many short things about me will feel weird lol). I've been alive for 23 years 11 months and 6 days ... But I've only been living for like 3 years. That's how long I've been a Nzumbi, that's how long I have adopted the motto Happiness is a choice and Success is a habit.
My simple truth is this To be alive is to exist in the flesh, To live is to be alive and give life all that you can, all the time. The honest truth is that most of the world gives life less than half for less than half the time. The rest of the time they are bitching and whining (we all know that humans loooove complaining :-/ ). If every time you got the urge to do something you know you have to (or rather, that which you are aware will lead you to your desired goal), you just stopped hesitating and you did it, you'd be everything you've ever wanted to be. That my friend, is the shitty reality of it all. I could repeat this a million times, if you are still lost :-/ Get a compass lol
The self is a muscle - Pump some iron!!!
What is the hardest thing that you've done lately? How many really challenging things do you attempt every year? What is the last thing you taught yourself that you couldn't imagine doing just a year ago? (FYI I'm on it. I can't say what it is, but let's just say I always dreamed of doing it but never had the balls to do it. Now I am living it :D)
The only way to grow a muscle is to lift heavy objects (Challenge it), you feel pain the next day, and the next week your arm looks like Johnny Bravos!! How about you treat your life like a muscle, the muscle of existence. Think of the Self (That is, the entire you, mind body soul) as the muscle, the only muscle with no physical limit to it's growth. Think of the infinite possibilities with such a muscle, no steroids needed, this muscle is it's own steroid. Push yourself and bare through the pain and sacrifice, you shall reap the rewards. Do what you thought was impossible, Learn a new language. Learn to swim, start gym, write a novel, make a song, learn yoga. Whatever you have the most trouble getting started, Is important to your evolution.
We all have dreams and goals (If you don't, you're wasting valuable oxygen for someone who does, so humanly of you), we all wanna be somewhere in life higher than where we are. We are all on a journey to a destination of our desire, and this journey can only be carried out by living. Every second, every breath, every moment is one step closer to your goal. So then, is it not wise to live it as though it is the most important moment you have ever lived in your life. The truth is, it is. You'll never get it back (lol ya, even if you bribe the Gods, you eon't get it back. It's gone lol forever), you either use it or loose it.
NIKE - JUST DO IT Everyone should take NIKE's advice, stop thinking about it, just do it (**p)
Must read!!
The best text I've ever read that wonderfully elaborates this idea is Steven Pressfield's - The war of art. He elaborates on the idea of Resistance and Procrastination in a way only mind can conceive, my fingers cannot type.
In closing, I wanna say this. Life is to be lived, every second, every moment, every breath as though it is sacred, because it is.
Yours Happily
