DON'T JUST SURVIVE, LIVE.
In the face of severe adversity and difficulties, it is easy to slip into survival mode, where our focus is simply on getting through each day, but, there is a big difference between surviving and truly living. Surviving is just barely getting by, doing what we need to do to make it through the day. Living, on the other hand, means embracing life to its fullest, taking risks, and enjoying all that it has to offer.
Living means pursuing our passions, taking the time to appreciate the beauty around us, and slowing down to savor every moment. It means being present in each moment, letting go of distractions and worries, and truly engaging with the world around us. Living also means challenging ourselves, stepping out of our comfort zones, and taking risks that can help us grow and expand as individuals. This may involve trying new things, pursuing new interests, or pushing ourselves to achieve personal goals and milestones.
Life can be filled with challenges, obstacles, and roadblocks that can make it difficult to feel truly alive; however, when we embrace the spirit of living, we feel more engaged, inspired, and fulfilled in our lives. We feel more connected to our communities, our passions, and our purpose. We are more likely to look back on our lives with a sense of pride and satisfaction, knowing that we truly lived to our fullest potential. We all have the ability to go beyond mere survival and truly live our lives to the fullest, but we must be ready to go beyond our perceived limitations.
It is not enough to just live our time on earth, we must live our lives. We would not want to get to the end of our lives and recount our regrets when we should be reminiscing on our memories and the quality of life we have lived. We must take risks, pursue our passions, and embrace each moment, by doing so, we can experience a deeper sense of fulfillment and purpose in our lives. Don't just survive, live.
