Living

Anais Nin said "I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing."

Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. It is a precious gift that has been given to all of us. Unfortunately, there are many of us who don't ever really open the gift.

Bruce Springstein's song, "Glory Days" talks about people who feel their best days are past them. If you fall into that category are you really living?

In order to live life fully, you have to know what you want. In the movie "Bucket List" the two main characters found out they had a short time to live and decided to do things they had always wanted to before they died. They were inspired to do this because they knew they were close to dying. Well, all of us only have so much time to live our lives.

The answer is not to ignore the future, but you need to know what your future should be. You have to know what you want before you can get it.

We all need to think about what we want/need to fully live. If you don't know where you want to be, how can you know how to get there?

Once you know what you want, every decision you make, every action you take should be made with your goals in mind.

The ultimate goal is to do the things you want to do, take risks, make errors, give, love and strive. It will make every day an opportunity to be seized. It may require hard work and dedication.

Remember, if you love what you are doing, it no longer is work.
