How do we get the most out of life? Is it in what we do? Is it in how we react? Perhaps, our ability to set the agenda for our life makes us the person we desire to be. Being able to react to the world around us and feel those emotions that make us whole---Perhaps, that's what it's all about.

::::::::

Life is a combination of your worst fears and your most divine hopes. When the two interact, the interaction is the most invigorating experience. Yet, in an odd way, it is the only time when you feel like you are alive.

 

The adrenaline that pumps through you as you know that you are on edge pushes you to find the solution to your worst fears and the key to maintaining your divine hopes.

 

Your mind multitasks back and forth between the two scenarios---one where your life is a wretched mess, the other where your life is sanctimonious and filled with pride.

 

Pride not in the sense of arrogance. Pride that has you talking to your mind about the many past times you have engaged in. You know that you have done something and your life is good.

 

Relishing in your very existence, the possibilities of a world cut loose and turned into more chaos than the chaos that ensues it right now is plausible. But not probable. The world could easily purify itself if people found the faith to do good.

 

What good is it to speculate though? There is only you and why push it past being something entirely egotistical. That’s not to say your concern for yourself does not involve others but you should demand respect.

 

Respect is what you deserve. Life is nothing if you do not find dignity in your surroundings. Or, if you fail to command your surroundings to become the environment that is most natural and most uplifting to your body and soul.

 

Why would you push on in life if you were forced to live in a world that was entirely alienating? At some point, alienation would have to become familiar and comfortable or else you would not be able to survive.

 

The truth is that the most true truths in life are the truths that you create through the actions you take. The most true truths are the actions others take. And when the most true truths involve people doing what they feel in their hearts and minds will most benefit their surroundings including the people they have the most power to mold into new and better human beings…

 

…Life blossoms.

 

You want more in life, you have to go out and get it. Nobody’s going to give you the will to survive. You have to find that will in your heart. You have to believe in that better world and then take the steps to create that world for your heart and mind to indulge in.
