Alive!
The one who
charts his own path
keeps the child in him alive
touches lives
spreads smiles across the miles
follows his heart
dares to dream
pumps up his adrenaline
enlivens each moment
creates imprints in the sands of time
nourishes his soul
practices gratitude
connects with people
only then
he is alive and living
else,
he only exists!

Beautiful Rhadika. Maybe we need to adopt a child’s view of wonder of life
and so live instead of existing. I am a great believer in this attitude.
Just existing could lead to depression and loss of vitality.

Absolutely Miriam. We get so accustomed to the mundane that life becomes mere existence for us.
I am glad that you bring in much more to the quality of your life. Wishing you many more moments of celebration in your life♥️

What a beautiful distinction you’ve made, R! And yet we prefer to just exist – why so? What is it that we’re afraid of – disappointment, inability, failure, or simply change itself?

Thanks N. Many of us have been moulded to live life in a certain way. So i guess stepping out of it becomes a challenge. We accept the routine and carry on.
But, I am happy to see the younger generation breaking stereotypes living life following their heart’s passion, living each moment to the fullest.

Very true, R. But then there is a fine line between living life to the fullest and being a rebel – which is seen rising at an alarming rate in today’s generation. Striking a balance between being conservative and progressive is easier said than done. But I guess here the upbringing comes into play and, once again, it is up to us to groom the next gen as best we can!

Hmm…yes. Our younger generation is a mix of both. On one hand we see some of the youth going totally astray while on the other hand many of them are very conscientious. Like you rightly said it is what values we inculcate in them matters. We need to shift our focus from materialistic achievement to a more holistic one.
