I feel the need to share with you how I feel about life.
Take a deep breath, in through your nose, out through your mouth.
Do you here that? That is the sound of life. I think we often don’t realize what is right in front of us. We get up, eat a quick meal, rush out the door late for work again, all the while we could be living the most peaceful life. The earth was created for us so that we could live it. Following a strict routine that causes you to see life as a blur, is not living.
Take a quick look outside. Focus on whatever caught your eye. Whatever you see whether it’s a bird, flower, or bush–that is beauty. Beauty that may come in the form of a bird, but is really just life. This is how I feel about life. You only have 70 some years until you leave this world, so why waste it looking at Instagram pictures that are completely meaningless, or spending hours making the perfect Pinterest board when 1 in a million people are going to check it out. Travel the world. That is my motivation for you. I’m not just talking about buying an expensive plane ticket to Rome for a week. What I mean is: be where you are.
You can travel, explore, and go on an adventure five feet from your doorstep. I bet you that if you go out your door right now, your thoughts will lead you on a journey, to a place that is both near and far, peaceful and rambunctious. Somewhere that you can draw, journal, read, or write. A place that will instantly grab hold of your life and help you see it from a different perspective. Make a freer lifestyle for yourself, one that leads you to places you’ve never been and to things you’ve never seen. Because just outside your door there is something waiting for you.
Find the joy in living.
