Thoughts on our beautiful, crazy and short life. #1
Hello!
I invite you all for some reflexions about our existence.
This is our thought of the day:
If things haven't changed until now, let things aside and change yourself.
And so it goes. We live our lives filled with dissatisfaction, which only brings sadness, angst and even diseases of emotional origin. If we realize that some things must be changed, why most of the times we just can't seem to be able to change them? We're so caught up in the way of life the world has imposed on us, that is easier to believe/hope that things will miraculously change in a positive way, that they will magically turn in our favor.
This is the question we must always ask ourselves:
Do you truly have responsibility over your own life? Or do you let it in the hands of other people/situations/fate?
We need self knowledge to improve our life's journey and we only get to know who we truly are, when we have the guts to face our innermost selves. The real change begins when you choose to leave the illusions and conveniences behind and realize you are a singular being, that have full responsibility over your choices, over your life! Are you taking hold of your life? Or do let fate decide upon it?
Making any small change in your life is never easy. Changing entails leaving what's comfortable behind. Changing entails that you desire for more. Changing entails failing and starting over again, and again. Changing is feeling. But we are so afraid to just feel, aren't we? We're so afraid of what everyone is thinking about us. In the end, we're so afraid of being afraid!
Life is short, my friends! Really short indeed. We must look at this experience called LIFE as the only opportunity for truly knowing who we are! For committing to our choices and to the world we live in. This way, we'll not only have real responsibility over our being, but we'll be able to enjoy the only kind of freedom there is.
Home is wherever your heart resides. Only you have the power to change your life. Right here and right now!
This is us from @mimoartes! Camila and Pedro. Sharing our ever changing life experience.
We will see you all soon!
Cheers!
I agree with what you said! We must always strive to be the best version of ourselves and not be afraid of taking some risks, calculated risks that is, and getting out of our comfort zones and taking on the world. Great post!
We should strive for our best version definitely... Otherwise life can get pretty meaningless. Thanks @andywong31!
Interesting post!
I think fate is multi-layered. Because we're always partly at the mercy of our biological form and health, there is an even great responsibility for us to control the things we can and accept the things we cannot.
Thank you for the comment @monoglyph. Yes, we are partly determined by our biological conditions. But when it comes to recognizing our limits, I think we can always push biology, maybe to an extent it may seem impossible at first. Our will is beyond any pre determination, either from nature or nurture. That is what I came to believe...
