Many of us live humdrum lives, unaware of the shimmering beauty all around us. And quietly give up and ` fill coffins’ before the age of thirty five!
That was quite a strong statement, don’t you think? But sadly it happens. Why? How come?
Well let me explain it this way:
- All those years at school we dreamt of what type of lives we would have when we leave school. What type of career and lifestyle, etc.
- It isn’t long before we realize we can’t get the job we hope to have, for whatever reason.
- We didn’t intend to get married straight away, but it happens quicker than we envisioned.
- We work at a jog we don’t like, or we land up having children, and devoting all our time to them. One treadmill after another and it never seems to stop. Each day follows another, and everything turns out humdrum.
- One day you wake up and find out you’re already 30 or 40 years old and you haven’t achieved any of the things you so hoped to achieve or do.
- Where did time go and how did things happen the way they did?! We realized we were too busy doing our duty, filling each day keeping to a schedule, pleasing everybody else, etc.
- Some of us realize we need to make a change. And some of us accept our lot and continue to just exist; doing the same old thing from day to day… burying ourselves alive.
There are ways of changing your life for the better:
Ask yourself what you really like to do most. If you are worried about finances, there are ways of obtaining or doing it without money.
Practical:
- Do some research on your particular topic. Find out more about it and make notes. Often while doing research, you’ll find another or more opportunities arise, one way or another.
- Plan your moves and take action, even if it means doing something smaller to begin with.
- Learn a new skill, something that supports your topic.
- Take up a creative hobby. Hobbies often turn into business.
Spiritual:
You achieve more if your mood is lifted.
- `Stop-to-small-the-roses’: Train yourself to see the beauty in everything. Do something that puts beauty in your life, like growing flowers.
- Change attitude: Think and talk positively. Whatever you think goes to the heart. And from there things begin to happen.
- Find reasons to Laugh more often. Play and listen to happy uplifting music.
- Now don’t laugh at me. But I often do a little happy jig. It’s fun to twirl around in a garden or forest with your arms out stretched. I can tell you, it lifts your spirit no end. Privately of cause, in case someone thinks you’re slightly `off-your-rocker’!
Love life:
Live life to the full.
- Observe life around you more closely. See what the `bees-and-ants’ are doing. Things most people don’t see in their busy lifestyles. As an artist, we do this all the time. How sunlight beams through the atmosphere, making haloes on grass seeds, etc. Taking time to watch sparkles shimming on water, dewdrops on fence wire or on flowers, etc. How the sparkles of highlights, rim-lights bring your paintings to life!
- You may not be able to travel by car or by air. Even if you don’t have a bike, you can get out there and take walks, to see the deeper things of life.
I can hear you ask the question:
How will all that help?
- You will have more to write about on Steemit for starters! It also helps to write more exciting stories.
- And I promise you: Your life will broaden and expand beyond your present understanding.
This is how our lives are going on. This post is enough to open our eyes. great post @artguru
Hi.
My thoughts also, be careful life does not pass you by, be inspired then life has no limit.
What I wrote about, happened to me at the age of 35. The thought of burying yourself alive really shocked me.
i think this is the best one i read today keep on your good work for awareness
Keep an eye out for my blogs. I use similar icons images, a different one for different topics.
Today, there is only one problem in the whole world, that is, if there is no work towards it. He does not know what he is doing. And if a person can absorb his work, he will be successful, but most people can not afford. That does not get success in the work. And that man falls apart.
I love your writing. I hope you write more about this type of writing and warn the nation.
thank you.
You are right. When a person is given a job and he doesn't know what he really should be doing with it, he procrastinates. But once he has the know-how he enjoys his job a lot more. And if he loves his job, he becomes very successful sooner or later.
@artguru i really appreciate this post as it discusses Practical, Spiritual ,Love life of improving our life. @theheralds
I think this is one of the best post I have read today about life..your every lines are true..thanks for sharing with us..nice post
Lately living in the Now has been a joyous feeling. Of course it is a continuous thing, never a final destination! Asking Self all the essential questions that make our mind cringe because we are thinking so hard on the answer. But when we arrive....oh do we arrive! Stopping to take a breathe can ease many discomforts!
Peace and Love
Yes, I take rests in between what I do too. It re-charges me no end.

Went to look at your site. You folks really seemed to have a lot of fun. And I can see all the hard work brought joy to everyone.
Yes you are right that really hard work for everyone . At the begining there is no vehicle to festival area under normal conditions . Friends are setting the shuttle but still so many friends are hitchhiking. And yes you also right that everyone is doing a lot of work, but the work done is so funny . And sometimes the weather is cold , sometimes rainy but still everything is more funny and everyone is very happy.
