Why Are We Here?
By mati. Filed in Life |
This question has been with me since I was just a small child. I used to look around and question everything, and nothing made a whole lot of sense to me. People go to work, come home, go back to work, come home again, always the same, day out and day in. Once in a while, they take a break and go on vacation, trying to forget about their daily bondage. I used to think that there must be more to life than this!!! This couldn’t possibly be all there is to it!
What is the point of being here, if we never even explore what we are here to share with the world? Every one of us have special talents of some kind, things that come to us easy. You may not be able to give up your daytime job just to do what you feel like, but do you put aside at least some time to pursue your dreams? Life is more than just living from bill to bill.
Paying your bills, and making sure you have a roof over your head and food on the table, takes care of your physical body. But what about your spiritual nurturing? Your spirit also needs to be cared for. Are you walking your path? Are you allowing yourself to learn from everything that happens in your life? Are you growing and expanding in many ways? Are you becoming wise, or just growing old?
We all have a responsibility to make sure that we live life to the fullest while we are here. This is why it is important to follow your dreams before it is too late. Live life totally, make as many mistakes as you can (and learn from them) and start appreciating all the things that really matters, like love, laughter and beauty. The worst thing that could happen is to get to the end of your life, only to realize that you haven’t really lived yet. You were just too busy with everyday concerns. There were so many things you would have liked to do, and all of a sudden, it is too late… No wonder everyone fears death and will do almost anything to hang on to life just a little bit longer…
Do you really think it makes a difference how long you live? Length of life has to do with quantity, while the only thing that really matters is quality. So, how can you increase your quality of life? Simple, make quality of life your main priority because life is too precious to waste it.
So, here are a few things that I have learned along the way:
1)Follow your dreams
2)Don’t hold back, don’t postpone
3)Pain and pleasure are two sides of the same coin. Pain is simply the price you pay for the pleasure you get. Avoid pain, and you get no pleasure either. If you want pleasure, you need to accept both.
4)Love, with all your heart
5)Make mistakes, totally
6)Let go of the past, forgive and move on
7)Don’t worry about the future, TRUST IN LIFE
8)Let life be your teacher – learn from everything
9)Be here, now
Life is simply a journey. It doesn’t matter where we are going, or how fast we are getting there. We just have to learn to enjoy each moment of the journey itself…
