" if we knew ourselves perfectly, we should die. "
-- albert camus
true. do we ever really know ourselves? and what's best for us? or what we want? sometimes what we want and what we need are extremely different; sometimes what we need is precisely the last thing we'd want (or vise versa)...but if our outlook about life changed, maybe those two things could become the same? let me make myself a bit clear here (I know, first time for everything): if we chose to look at life as a set of adventures and lessons, as an overall journey, rather than obligations or tasks wouldn't what's necessary become apparent?
taking things each day at a time helps make life become more of an adventure; we never know what tomorrow holds because we don't expect anything for tomorrow but something new. maybe something new will happen to you if you decide to let each moment actually happen to you..instead of analyzing each and every second of it. people take for granted the simplicity of life, and how small things become the larger memories in the long run. yeah, plan to make sure you don't starve when you're in your thirties...but make sure you're not starving over the lack of being content (and..well..full of food). look at each day as a gift, because unfortunately, there's yet to be a gift that lasts more than your lifetime. and let's be real here, a gift is only a gift if the receiver is around to enjoy it. otherwise, it becomes another thing to be taken for granted.
give the snooze button a chance. wake up fresher, more optimistic..and ready to step out of your realm. you've yet to know what becomes you, and life is long enough for you to try anything and everything on for size. who knows? this might be the secret to living longer.
