How to live your life?
Your parents failed to teach you this
This may sound like a vague or broad topic, but there is a way to live your life and make the most of it.
I spent almost 15 years of my life on autopilot.
Did what others asked me to do.
Went to school because my mom asked me to go
Wrote my exams because my parents said that’s important
Started using social media because everyone around me was on Social media
Lived just like a robot until I found a way to live a life to make the most out of it
I’m not going to be talking about spirituality
I’m not “that” guy and I don’t want to waste your time anyway
I’m here to tell you that
When you tap into your consciousness, when you start to think about why you’re alive and what’s your purpose in life you’ll begin to live your life intentionally.
You’ll start to live a purposeful, intentional, deep & conscious life.
You might be dreaming right now or just a few minutes ago. Literally, and you may not be aware of that.
Not only you, but many also suffer from this. They just dream their whole life.
I used to spend 30-40% of my day, just dreaming and would be unconsciously running away from my fears and failures through numbing my senses with cheap pleasures.
That isn’t the life I would be proud of.
I know you won’t be proud either.
Imagine you spent 30% of your life just dreaming and the other 50-60% just being unconscious of the world around you like a robot.
I guess even robots think about what they should do before doing it.
We must live in the present moment, not in dreams
We must be aware of why we’re doing what we’re doing, not unconscious
We must be living a purposeful deep life, not a life without goals and ambitions
Ok, Now you get the point but…
What does this even mean in a practical sense?
When you work, you work with focus & intention
When you eat, you eat like it’s your last meal
When you wake up, you know what you should do for the day
When you get to bed, you must be driven because of the reason behind it.
When you talk, you talk with full attention
When you listen, you listen with full attention.
Being present is a skill and a gift waiting for every human to experience.
I will live in the present because that's the only best place to be
You will be amazed by how much you can accomplish and how much you can live your life when you’re present & conscious.
Awaken your senses.
Feel what you touch.
See what you look at
Taste what you eat
Listen what you hear
Live in the moment. Let your thoughts flow like a moving cloud. Don’t interfere with it.
Live without any fear of the future or any trauma from the past
LIve without worrying about what you can’t see
Just look forward and take a step
Live in the present
Meditate for life.
