How do you interpret the phrase "Living life". Does it mean that every moment has to be fun filled and packed with adventure? Or that it is. Just living life as every day presents it to you. Sometimes it being just mundane and slow filled with the everyday happening of the average joe?
Everyday life is pretty mundane. Trying to make it into something it's not is a recipe for dissatisfaction. Accepting it as it is, is a recipe for contentment.
I aspire to relative contentment. A good friend and I coined the term while singing “Green is my fav-rit co-ler”
A term that is usually saying your doing the things they make life worth living, things that bring joy.
Keep breathing. And try to perk up and take an interest in your surroundings.
I suppose we live life with the hope of living the dream..than you realise you are living the dream compared to about 90% of the world if not better..so you take the bad with the good and get on with it..always remembering to stop once in a while..to hang back and smell the roses..
I often say that life gets in the way of living sometimes. that is how it seems when darker days write their chapters. Yet then i try to recall the words of Mr. Frost.....from his poem 'birches'...
"I'd like to get away from earth awhile
And then come back to it and begin over.
May no fate willfully misunderstand me
And half grant what I wish and snatch me away
Not to return. Earth's the right place for love:
I don't know where it's likely to go better."
have a nice day y'all.
Living life as a statement means to me being free to experiment, to try new things, to experience the diversity that life offers, and to have time to learn whatever it is that moves me. It is a self centered challenge with time limits and I have but one shot at it.
So far, so good.
I live Mine, you live Yours, we all live Ours.
I don't. The phrase is general to the point where its not worth worrying about.
It is just one of these phrases that people use when they think that everyone should fill every minute of the day with activity. Personally, I would find that totally exhausting. We all need contrasts in our lives, busy active time and quiet more contemplative time.
