The real art of living!

We fight for the things we want. We hold on to who or what we love. Learn what needs to be learnt and forget what we have learnt. We stop fighting and no longer remember how to love. We stop living. We become so consumed and wrapped up in our own consumer, materialistic driven lives that we no longer stop to smell the roses. When last have you done that? Literally, taken a moment to smell the roses?

The journey each of us takes is different. Yet we are constantly trying to beat the other person to the finish line. Why the rush? Sit back and enjoy the ride. Your journey is uniquely customized for you. So instead if rushing to the finish line, embrace the moment, enjoy the now and live the present, for it is a gift. 

It is a fact that most of us live a lifestyle we can not really afford. We are constantly trying to improve everything we have to better ourselves. Let me tell you a secret, what we have does not better us as a person. It’s what we make of what we have. We will get hurt, we will hurt. We will love and hate. We will win and loose. Live and die. It is what we do with the in between. How many we love and how little we hate. How much we live and how little we rush. How much we receive and how much we give.  

So, the real art of living is not what we have, but who we have. Not how much we earn. But the goodwill we give. Not how we won the game but how we played it! That my friend is a fine art that each of us is a master in!
