"Listen, are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?". Mary Oliver
In other words, get a life!
One of the things I see in people that always gives me pause, is their unhappiness. And by that, I don't mean short-term, disgruntled, for-the-time-being unhappiness but overall, long-term, chronic unhappiness that goes on for days, weeks months and even years without analysis or review. There's this shrugging of the shoulders "Oh well, that's just life can't do much about it" approach instead of one filled with hope and joy achieved through self-fulfillment.
There's an acceptance of an inner belief system, telling them they don't deserve more. And by deserving more I don't mean monetary or material rewards; I mean inner joy and happiness brought on my living a rich, full, authentic and passionate life following one's hearts and dreams to all ends.
Too many times I have seen - no, wait, not just seen but find myself continually surrounded by people who are employed for no other reason than to earn money to keep a roof over their head, food on the table and a car in the driveway. And that's not to say we don't all need to take care of ourselves but what I'm saying is those things can be earned and achieved doing something we love to do. Something that nurtures our soul and spirit allowing us to feel joyous and fulfilled on a daily basis. Call me selfish, but I would much rather spend my time on this earth surrounded by people living their dreams than with those who are not, believing the dream seekers lifestyle rubs off on me. Their joy and passion for life is contagious fostering my own.
Here's to living LA VIDA LOCA!
