There was a man who never laughed or played, he never risked, he never danced, or prayed. So one day when he died, his insurance was denied because they claimed he never really lived, so he never died.
Most people just exist, try to get by with life, and throw caution to the wind. We need to take life by the scruff of the neck and dare.
What stories would you have if you played it safe? What would you tell your children and how would you tell them to get more out of life if you never dared or tried?
All these little things make life enjoyable and fun. They make life worth living, and they shape our views and build up our experiences.
Laugh when you must, cry when you should, give when you have to, hold back when it is a must, build up, pull down, dare, risk, speak, have fun, dance, pray, help, sacrifice, give your all, do all it takes to keep living.
Life is all about living and each day, we write our own scripts and you determine how you want to end up with the things you do with, every day.
Chart your own course...don’t ever be a secondary character in your own story. Life is meant to be lived, not to be endured...a rare privilege we have all been given, so go on and live it.
May you get more out of life than just a cup of tea.
Thank you for your time.

Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

These words came to my mind as I read this post:
Maybe it was a little risk that I needed That I could get the fruit from this world seeded Now I just starve alone in this world My belly is full yet my heart is curled Maybe it was something that I never risked Taken away I should have her whisked Life without ups and downs is death A little bit of daring is every hearts breath-hashcash
I think to actually live one must put his life on at stake. Don't get me wrong - I am not saying or telling to do something stupid. but you previous post comes to my mind. Do I believe in myself enough to risk spending all that I have on my self.
I am basically talking about investing in oneself to see a better future. This is also a type of a risk that we sometimes do not think about.
You are right and i totally understand that view. You are right, risking a lot on ourselves to reach a desired outcome is key. Just like the movie: "Acrimony" the guy waited 20 years and used it on himself due to what he believed in. He took risk on his life, talent and investment and it paid off in the end. We often say, "What if it doesn't work out?" And i always say, "What if it did?". It is a risk we can take if we so much believe in ourselves.
Thanks a lot for this view and yes! That poem is lit! Perfect icing to it.
Once again, I am glad that you liked it :-)
Anytime brother...anytime...😊
Very powerful...but...life often sends challenges our way that are hard to get out of the way from...not all chances one takes are the "best" results...consequences of actions can last a lifetime...so yes...one needs to "live but recognizing the results aren't always "fun"....the script we write does not always follow the plot we plan...
Actually...I find sitting having a cup of tea the best thing to do at times when things are most hectic...a moment of contemplation is never wasted. Plus I do "live it up" by adding in some honey!
The challenges life throw at us are part of the living we must live. Tough time don't last, tough people do and that is part of our existence. Oh yes! Sitting down to enjoy a cup of tea gives us a moment to reflect and that was why i said "may we get more out of life than just a cup of tea".
Life will never give you what you deserve but what you demand and that is still the essence of living. Risk is part of living.
Thanks for your view...duly appreciated.
"his insurance was denied because they claimed he never really lived, so he never died" this line really gave me goosebumps.
And btw I have been following all parts of "Life is about Living" and I really loved it.
Your words give delight and thanks for your kind words. Yes, i saw your lovely comments and i enjoyed them too. Thanks a lot, i really appreciate you.
Playful state of mind, is when people say or do seseuatu with the aim to have fun and not serious. Adults need to occasionally be in this stage. The goal? In order to compensate for serious thinking in his work or personal life.
Have you ever remembered the last time you laughed so much with tears? Enjoy the entertainment and feel very happy, or even singing merrily and jogging like a child. Maybe you never remember because it was so long, because you are too busy with your daily activities work, study and others. Often we forget the little things that can refresh the heart and mind because of the tasks that accumulate in the office, or often suffer with in the chase of deadline work assignments or lectures. The world of work or the environment often requires you to take too seriously each activity. Too serious is not good for physical and mental health.
For people who are too serious this may be related to the purpose and target of the person. His environment, lifestyle and needs demanded him to lead a serious life to pursue his target. Job demands and targets often make them forget the enjoyment of other lives such as recreation, entertainment and so forth. If someone is aware of the busyness and excessive seriousness in the life he lived, then he will know there are disadvantages he gets, such as saturation, fatigue and a rare pleasure gained. And he is aware and able to control his own busyness.
But there are also people who do not realize what he lived has disturbed him by burdening him. This is what diujungnya later can cause stress, especially if there are targets and goals of life that is not achieved. Moreover, his busy work caused him to forget to eat, to keep the diasup, and forget to take care of himself. Because the more the ability of the body and self are weakened if not regularly maintain it in balance this is what causes various diseases caused by disturbed thoughts and physical weakness.
Life supposed to be enjoyable, and the only way to do that is to make everything simple.
This are the things that makes life what it is. Therefore don't act as if you are the only one carrying other people's burden.
I say Amen to that last statement i would get more in life. Things like good records cos i want people to say good things about me when i am gone. I want my children to say they have a good father and i want to have impact in peoples life
