The question that stumps everybody is what happens after the last breath. Everyone may see it differently, some of us have perhaps seen it at the end of a lengthy corridor, or stared it right in the eye. And for that, we are much more alive, or rather grateful to be alive than those who haven’t had this glimpse or shaken its hand. Truth is, we’re all still here; making moments last and giving this life our best shot. Whether we were given the tools needed or have to craft them with what’s around us, we’re all here for the same purpose. All have the same intrinsic needs, only with our own unique ways of going about them.
If the question is “What?” The answer is “Love” If the question is “Who?” The answer is “Yourself” If the question is “How?” The answer is “Idk figure that shit out! 😅” I think it begins with laughing at the absurdity of it all.
Continue learning and expanding perspective. All else stems from this.⚡️♥️⚡️
Growing up, I believed all rules were set, everything I heard was true, and everything just was the way it was. This type of fixed mindset is dangerous for a young person entering a wide world with billions of people, many with more experience and knowledge than you know. Maybe about 5 years ago now, I felt this urge to unlearn so much. My beliefs, tendencies, as well how I viewed myself, and habits that may be detrimental. These days, it’s a top priority to keep an open mind and ingrain the healthiest habits. That is to not hold so much truth to everything I hear, to work hard and strive to improve, knowing that it DOES pay off in way I don’t yet imagine at the time. With habits, that is to do the baseline necessities for my wellbeing and to not overindulge. It’s actually become easier as I’ve been keen on this for several months now, and honestly I thought I’d never get to this point, but somewhere, something changed.
I don’t always know what I’m doing or why I’m doing it, but we as people have an inherent way of making our lifestyle work for this society. For example I used to wander up brooks and take photos of the water with my dogs. It was my favorite thing, yet sometimes I asked myself why I did it; or what was the point. Well I indeed learned a lot, was at peace, saw beauty and became inspired, sold some photographs, got fresh air and exercise, etc.
Whatever it may be, it is not set in stone. Whatever you wish to achieve in this lifetime, you may. Just gotta believe and maintain a solid foundation. You will get there before you realize it, or realize it now.
So, whatever you think you are today… if there are things you wish were different, please understand you will go further, so long as you reach for, and find solace in that reach. Identify what you want your life to look like and what needs to change to make that reality. It can take time, lots of time. But it’s worth every second in becoming a lighter freer version of oneself. And I’m not saying I’ve made it and gotten everything I’ve dreamed of, but I’m much better off than a younger version of myself could have imagined.
