"The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it."
- W. M. Lewis
People will say that life is so short, that no one has a chance to fully live. The way I see it is, we are given this life to do with it how we choose. The problem here is, not that we aren't given enough time, but that it is the fact it takes us so long to start living our life.
Come on people, stop watching life from the side lines. The quote, " Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die tomorrow." ~Dean James, sums it up.
We will never know when we are going to die. But when we do, I think it would be easier dying knowing that you lived a good life, then missing chances and living with regrets. Take chances, have fun, and never let an opportunity slip you by. Don't just dream but make it reality. It is your life, but it isn't yours till you take the first step forward.
~Ideas to live by~
-Take chances. Don't sit and watch the people around you. Sometimes doing things that are out of your comfort zone, is where the best moments of your life will stem from
-Take pictures everyday. Sounds geeky or lame? Well, pictures are worth a thousand words right? You never know what you are going to be doing in 5 years, but The pictures are things you can keep forever that connects you back to your past and back to your memories.
-Always have a smile and don't let the past weigh you down. Everyone holds grudges at some point but hey, don't. When you let the grudge stay with you, you can never fully experience life. Please, think about it. When you are wrapped up on who screwed you over, or crossed you, you are two focused on that then what is going on around you right now!
-Fake a smile till it is a good day. I know that some days it hurts so much to smile, and you just want to cry. But I ask you this, try to fake a smile, keep your mind open, and let the chance that something will get better.
Your life will only start meaning something when you start living it for yourself.
