When I meet people & ask if they were happy with their life, majority of the answers turn to be ‘Negative’. When I ask if they were happy with the work – the answer remains ‘Negative’. When I ask if they were happy with themselves – the answer remains ‘Negative’. The answers lie in the ‘Negatives’. Give a thought once. You’ll land up identifying bundle of Positives in the Negatives – eventually transitioning the entire ball to optimism.
What is the difference between LIFE and life? Four alphabets with similar pronunciation. No difference at all. There is one – and a big one.
- LIFE is bold & uppercase. It denotes confidence, strength, and the ability to win.
- life is bold too. To me it looks closed, dull, compact, & unhealthy.
Who do you want to be - Bold, Italic or Regular? More than 6.8 billion in this world live a Regular life. A life which begins at 9 in the morning & ends in bed at 11. Similar routine – followed for weeks, months, years & lifetime. We don’t want to be a part of this herd. I’m sure we come in the rest (0.2 – 0.3 billion). It’s not how successful you be in ‘life’; but in living LIFE.
The search of LIFE ends the day you start interpreting your heart & following it. Alike Facebook, the best way to live LIFE is to read the News Feeds that update within and follow them with sincerty. Alike Google+, add +1 to every new post you read and implement the same. Try adding more and more +1’s to your wall. The day you complete the entire list, believe, you’ve lived LIFE.
I’d like to quote an example of the man I respect the most – BILL GATES. He realised at the age of 13 that he loved software & eventually built a mammoth, “Microsoft”. In the early 2000s, he transitioned to a greater role in LIFE with a decision to return all wealth he had earned back to the society through his foundation. Bill Gates is the best illustration on living LIFE.
Friends, I understand that we are neither Bill Gates nor in the list of riichest people in the world. The fundamentals remain the same. Spend sometime with yourself. Identify and list ten things you’d love to involve in before you die. Try to accomplish – start from the first one. Be patient & work with determination. As and when you accomplish them one by one, your inner-self would say – Hey, I LOVE YOU. Bet, this would be the happiest day of your LIFE.
I agree that every individual is unique & has a set of capabilities unlike any other. However, most of us get so much involved in life that we forget living LIFE. Always keep in mind the list of ten that needs to be completed, for this will take you through the roadways of LIFE.
Thanks for your time. LIVE LIFE ;)
