To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist.

Are you really living or are you just existing? We tend to choose to exist because it’s safer. Really living requires courage and a vulnerability that is just plain scary to most of us.

Why don’t we live like we’re dying? (Spoiler alert – we are all dying.) We are perishable items and our time here is limited. Yet we forget that and fall into our daily patterns and routines. We stay inside our lanes, just looking ahead to what comes next. We go onto autopilot chasing all the wrong things for all the wrong reasons. And chasing the wrong things and staying within the lanes of what society says we should do is not living.

You are here for a reason. And it’s not to live a monotonous life. Or a life filled with fear and worry.

Tomorrow is promised to no one. We don’t know when our time on this planet is over. If you found out you had only a year to live, what would you do? I bet you’d start doing the things you’ve always wanted to do “someday”.

Whether you have one day, one year or another 50 years left, isn’t it about time you broke free? Isn’t it time for you to spread your wings and fly?
