What's on my mind
Life and the journey of life.
I once use to tell someone are you living life or is life living you?
It's an interesting question
What does it mean for life to be living you
In simple sort it's just you getting carried on by the society and it's expectations.
In many cases when growing up we've been taught to stop day dreaming. That also imaginations are nothing more than wishful thinking and we should quit imagining .
A more simpler phrase is that we should GET REAL 🤣.
Indeed get real because what's real is what's going on in the society your personal wild imaginations are just what they are mere imagination. It's not realistic
The only sense of realistic imagination is that which is to better improve on the known facts and what is real.
So not all the times are imaginations taken to be just imagining things. Like in work it helps to be more creative.
To be more productive.
To think outside the box.
Yet the funny thing is when they say think outside the box it's more accurately like think around the box because what ever you will think of should be closely related to the box at least.
But sadly that's how our world is
We live in a sphere that possibilities are governed by factors that generally relates to the collective realism.
So for instance you want to take a certain path in life or hobbie or objective but then you realize it's realism is not enough to provide the basic needs both the inelastic and elastic ones, you then drop the idea.
For in this round world we have what majorly turns it is a source of trade which is money.
So money indeed makes the world go round.
I believe I weakly explained my main point but hope you get the gist.
The major or specific aspect am referring to by life living you is in terms of your choices.
Depending on which aspect of life has strong influence on you.
For example you want to dress a certain way and In some certain areas in the world people are strongly judged by their dressing and so you don't even if it's something decent but just not popular to that society
You don't not be cause you can't but you are too scared to express yourself and be unique
A lot of people live life by choosing to be unique
Public opinion doesn't matter so long as they know they aren't breaking laws .
Then what does it mean to live life
We are in world were we highly depend on our society. So the advice is not to go against.
But you live life when you give yourself more options and control over your choices.
Be free to be expressive and unique you so long as you are not breaking laws.
Imagine something if you feel like trying it , try and see how it goes.
Everyone is created differently because we can take different parts in life. But due to a system of living we end up following some basic parts if we really want to enjoy what we are getting.
I read a book the Alchemist by Paulo coelho
And it brought the idea of personal legend. That is something unique to you to achieve if you can set and do that you will have a sense of fulfilment in life.
In the book the young man's personal legend was a dream he had to go to the pyramids of Egypt
Crazy right
You will be surprised how his journey went and what he found there.
Therefore no matter how crazy or unreal something's you feel like doing, don't forget to be yourself and try. And also safety first.
Those living their legends become Legends to themselves and feel fulfilled.
