Most people don’t really live.

Taking what’s given to them, accepting the status quo, and just plodding along with life. Doing what everyone else is doing. Living like everyone else is living. All without giving much thought to who they truly are, what they really believe, or what they really want out of their life.

Living like this comes at a cost. Anger, fear, and blame fill up their lives. They are trapped by their own negative thoughts and emotions. Their limiting beliefs keep them stuck, stuck, stuck. They won’t move forward and get on with their lives because they are constantly held back by their past. They are not as happy, fulfilled, or as emotionally satisfied with their life as they could be. Their home and professional life is not very productive, exciting, or fulfilling.

One huge life-sized serving of blah!

Contrast that with the person who truly lives their life.

Fully expressing their truest self in all that you are and in all that you do. Their style, strengths, and gifts are all fearlessly expressed. They are not living as a copy of someone else. They are living as an original. There is only one of them in the world, and they shine effortlessly.

Living like this creates change. Powerful. Positive. "Good to the last drop" type of change. 

Happy and unafraid they take responsibility for their choices. They seek to break free from negativity and choose to have beliefs that support them. They are living their natural rhythm, beliefs, values, and preferences. They are living holistically. They are aware of the interplay between their soul, body, emotions, and mind. Who they are at their core, what they do, and how they do life are all in harmony. They are living their truth and it is setting them free.

Personally, for too long, I was very stuck living a life that was not a true reflection of myself. I was so afraid to admit it. Afraid of being judged by others. But a few crises here and there. A bit of resolve on my part. I took some risks. I’ve made some progress toward living a happier and more fulfilling life.

How are you living your life?
