Living should be an easy thing, hell we all do it everyday. However, there is more to living than just waking up in the morning.
It’s more than just the heart beating, breathing, day to day ordinary order of business.
Living is what we do with those moments while we are awake.
Most people, in my opinion, are afraid to really live.
To really open up and try to seize the world by the balls. To hold on tight for however long the duration of the ride might be.
To do this requires one to fall outside their comfort zone, to place themselves in the path of scrutiny of others,
To purposely take the chance of failing in a big way.
From a young age we are taught comfort, contentment, accepting the status quo, as being the norms we should be willing to adhere to.
Society likes us when we are in that tiny box called “normalcy”
It likes to have control and know when and where we are suppose to be.
Those on the edge, the ones that are really living, are harder to contain and control. This above everything is a great reason to open up our lives like never before.
Be free, Be wild, Be alive. Live each day as if it were going to be your last. Starting when you wake up tomorrow morning. Take a long look at yourself in the mirror and realize that you are in control of your situation. That you and only you can decide if indeed you are going to escape the dull drum and really live.
The old adage of “nothing ventured, nothing gained,” seems to sum things up fairly well.
Take the chance at living, you may succeed, you may fail, either way you can give the world a high handed one finger salute as it revolves around us, and our lives
