3 Messed Up Considerations on Life
Light a path into your life.
As we think through many things in life there comes a point to cut through some of the constructed crap and stories we have put in our way!
I have three points to consider in your life.
1. If you knew how little people watched and judged, you would be more disturbed.
How many people spent time worrying about others’ perceptions? I think this starts in our early teenage years. The need to belong has us worried about everything. What do we wear? What do we say? Who do we hang out with? I think people shape their entire lives appealing to this hidden audience of watchers.
I think we can start to create this battalion of people watching our every decision and move. Truthfully, we would be more upset with how little people give a crap!
You probably wouldn’t worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do. — Olin Miller
2. Stop Considering the Consequences
Our minds can play out all the what ifs, the could haves, the should bes and freeze us into living small. Just live. Find the moments and be mindful. Go and discover all the universe has to offer.
I am not saying be an ass and never care about others, that is not stopping considering the consequences. Others are the flavor of a rich life. Just don't hold yourself back from that which will come your way and say “look here” I have something beautiful for your to experience.
The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. — Eleanor Roosevelt
3. None of us are getting out of this alive!
Realize the power of knowing you will die. Can you liberate yourself to understand that the experience of this day is yours to be within?
It is said that each of us would live differently if we knew when we are going to die. However, this never springs into an understanding that yes, yes we are going to die.
It should not take a near-death experience or medical problem to embrace life. Why do we wait for that second chance at life to stop and say the things we need to say, and do the things we need to do?
You don't have to wait for some perfect time, that perfect plan, or some grand event. Live and make all things big and small a beautiful moment, and from that, it will be grand.
The best way to prepare for death is to live life to its fullest. — John Bytheway
A Final Thought
You will die. Stopping at consequences keeps you small. People are not watching everything you do.
Life isn’t meant to be lived perfectly… but merely to be LIVED. Boldly, wildly, beautifully, uncertainly, imperfectly, magically LIVED. ― Mandy Hale
