Have you ever felt like life is passing you by to the point that your dreams or aspirations do not matter? Or you’ve focused your entire life on making other people happy while abandoning your goals and happiness. And now, years later, you start to think, ” Was I truly living for myself?”.
When I first started my career as a writer. I had so many doubts and fears about the future. Like, am I going to succeed with writing? Or if I pursue my dreams, will I end up failing? But thankfully, I did not, and now fast forward years later, I am doing what I love to do.
So, a few days ago, while surfing the web, I saw a quote by Mark Twain that intrigued me a lot.
How we spend our time and energy plays a factor in our lives. Because when we let life pass us by, we are not living but only existing.
Is there a difference between having a fulfilling life and existing?
It can sometimes be hard to tell if you’re existing or living when you never take the time to stop and appreciate the little things in life. You get so wrapped up in your job that you never spend time with your family and friends to the point that you compromise your happiness in exchange for an unfulfilling life.
But even so, you still have to be honest with yourself at the end of the day and realize that existing will not bring you happiness, only a life full of regrets and what you could or should have done.
Life has many possibilities.
One of the beauties of living on this earth is the ability to chase after your dreams. Whether you are striving to be a model, actress, singer, or whatever you desire to do with your life, give it you’re all.
As well as do not let doubt or fear stop you from living out your authentic life because living in a state of fear will only hinder your greatness.
In conclusion…

Thank you for this lovely reminder. Im working more on following my dreams.
Absolutely agree that we should learn to appreciate small things, slow down and take a moment to remember what we really want in life.
I enjoyed this brief read. It’s essential to figure out what inspires us and aim for goals where the journey itself motivates us.
As Warren Buffet says “Do What You Love”.
We owe it to ourselves to live our best lives! It’s too easy to get caught up in living the life we are expected to live.
