Live While You Are Alive

“Death is not the greatest loss in life. the greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live.” There are a lot of people that are afraid of death but are okay with existing without ever living in their purpose. To live a life without purpose Is the same as being dead while you are alive, our purpose is our lifeline it is a gift from God. The reason why many people live in complete chaos and sadness is because it is easy to settle, and as time goes by living life in disfunction without purpose becomes the new normal.  There two types of people in this world the people that will spend the rest of their lives doing what they must, and those that will choose to do what they love.  The people that spend time doing what they must are the ones that at some point in their life they had an experienced that they allowed to kill their joy and vision they once were so passionate about. Our vision is free the choice to not pursue it is expensive, it is an expense that we cannot afford. The reason why most will never choose to live in their purpose is because they are afraid of taking risks. Living to create the life that you love is a great risk, but it is a risk worth taking. 

 

The question that we all must ask ourselves is; am I worthy of living a life of fulfillment, time and free will? I believe that we all deserve to live a life that rewards us with the desires of our heart. The second question is do you really want it, and are you willing to work for it? The reason why this question is important Is because everyone will say that they want it, but they are not willing or ready to do the groundwork to create what is possible. I am currently in my second year of being a full-time mother and an entrepreneur. My first year was a struggle because I did not feel comfortable not having to follow a set schedule or having to answer to anyone else. It was a strange feeling because I was holding on to my belief system that requires me to work hard, seek the perfect career, and the idea that you must have a degree to become successful. The moment I made a choice that I deserved to manage my time doing what I loved and working smarter and not harder my life began to change. I changed my mindset from needing to be supervised to becoming my own supervisor. I became my own boss, my own supervisor, and the employee because I understood that if I was able to be disciplined in building someone else’s dream. I believed that my vision deserved the same energy with love and passion.

 

Changes are difficult weather they are by choice or by force and taking a leap of faith to follow your dreams is the scariest. The reason being is the only security we have is God and how we choose to show up for ourselves, as scary as it may seem this is the best security to rely on. Relying on God as our source of strength and security is the best and the only way to endure the tests of life. The One thing I hope to leave you all with today is an understanding of who you are and a reminder that your life has great purpose which you cannot afford to let die within you. Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today, tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Settling for a life that is comfortable, and predictable without purpose is the same as taking each day for granted. I am challenging you to become selfless and share your purpose with the world someone needs you, you matter, your story will make a difference one day, but you must begin today. Be confident with your purpose and what God has planned for your life, his way is perfect and rewarding. Live while you are alive, commit to living a life of purpose we were not created to die with our magic hidden within.
