Experience is the best teacher in life, as funny as it sounds, it is indeed true. Without experience we have no stories to share with our kids, no memories to lay back on.
Most of us didn't realize there was more to life until it was too late for us.
Life has taught me to live and not exist. But i realized it when it seems it was impossible to get my life back. As human beings we all exist in different parts of the planet. Existence means being part of event, but living entails being recognized for being part of an event.
Life on its own is an event, and once you're recognized in this world through your talents, gifts, skills, and impacts made on the life of others then it can be said you're living. Existence on its own is like a comfort zone. In a world filled with imperfections and negativity, existence has become the new comfortability. I once felt comfortable in my mere existence as a human being. But that didn't seem good enough.
Living is moving out of that comfort zone and finding a life. A lot of the celebrities out there wouldn't have been known if they didn't fight to stay off their mere existence.
Life can seem a little hard here and there but with the right motivation and attitude, you can explore life and live in it.
Seems difficult to try?
Start by appreciation: Appreciate who you really are. Self love can go a long way in building your life. Self worth, self esteem and self appreciation all comes in the same package. Once you realize how amazing you really are, you're ready to explore life.
Create hobbies and develop them: Most people don't feel there's any need to have hobbies. They rather sleep all day. I was once in those shoes and I can tell you , they felt so comfortable. In the long run I felt my life was drifting to the south(going the wrong way). So I had to paddle up and stay woke. Now I have created numerous hobbies which I'm thankful for .
Always hit the repeat button: The above said can only be efficient if you always put these above mentioned habits on repeat. Keep speaking positivity on a daily, keep loving yourself, appreciate how beautiful you're and create healthy hobbies .
Life can be really on a harsh side but nothing good comes easy. With that said I hope to get feedbacks from you. How has life treated you so far.
I like the contents of your article, inspiring and encouraging. Exactly nothing good comes easy, we have to try our best to create our existence, being a human alone isn't enough to be called existence. We have to do something worth remembering how we exist, so we can have a good story to tell and a good legacy remains once our human existence, doesn't exist anymore.
