Are you living or existing?

Everyone exists, but not everyone really lives. So many people in the world today are going through the day to day activities, not really alive and not dead either. They are just existing. They just follow through without any noticeable significance.


I like to ask young minds the question, "If tomorrow turned out to be your last day on earth, wouldn't you want to look back and say you lived life to the fullest?" 

What essence is it to living if at the end there is nothing significant to your living at all. 

So, stop existing and start Living!

The real difference between living and existing is that the latter is normal then the former is the real meaning of the latter. Living is in our purpose which most times spring out from our passion. 

Purpose, passion and dreams make us actually feel alive. They give us a reason to wake up each morning and live life with intention, direction and the drive to achieve our goals.

Living life is chasing and fulfilling your dreams. Doing whatever it takes to achieve your goals and not giving up on them because of excuses. So, living isn't just about waking up and sleeping which many termed to the term literally. But living is beyond a person just staying on earth… So, how do a person truly lives?  

You can say you are living if you do the following :

Ruin your fear: The best way to get over your fear is to do what you're afraid of. You will feel more fulfilled, happy, peaceful and more alive. Let your fears fuel your passion instead of allowing them to stunt your progress. Many think that fear is always a bad thing but I want to say that isn't true… Fear should not be seen as bad but as a guiding force to make you stay out of fear. 

Allow yourself to shine: Being your unique self gives you the liberty to move and not worrying what others think or say about you. Acknowledge yourself and confirm that there is only one of you, and no one possesses the same qualities as you. 

Surround yourself with positive people: Who you surround yourself with can either help or hurt you. Negative people will hold you back, while positive people will encourage you to become the best version of yourself. Choose to keep the company of those who allow their true selves to shine.

Build yourself up: Look for ways to build yourself up rather than tearing yourself down. Read great books, learn new skills and upgrade your knowledge. Find whatever works for you and stick to it.

It's time to stop existing and start Living!

Let me ask you once again, are you living or existing?

Get ready.
