Are You REALLY Living your Life ?? **

    Hmm. I am sure the answer to this question is yes. Proof? Yes, our minds are working, our fingers are continuously clicking the mouse, our heart is beating and what else do you need?

    Sadly the answer to this question remains 'No' in case of almost all of us. See earning money is a good thing, it is mandatory. But forgetting to take care of your eyes while writing 10's of articles everyday is not worth it. The point of creation of this topic is to see inside yourself and peek whether the inner being of yourself is happy or not.

    If it is happy and you are enjoying all the moments of life, well and fine. But in case if you have any sorts of confusion or you think your life has been completely shattered and nothing can be done, think again. "Today is the first day of the rest of your life !! "

    Share your thoughts here and just for clarification, I am not an adviser or a guru. I will just try to make you feel how good life can actually be !!

    Maybe other readers can also help you, so share anything you like here regarding your life !

    I no longer have any goals in my life. I'm just surviving, going from one day to another... the same monotonous routine... College life was great. Professional life sucks....

    With your name Gauhar, I can assume you are from India. And given the post, I assume that you are in a monotonous job of 10 to 7 from monday to friday. See there is no such thing as surviving..... Life can even be led without any money, with happiness. Only if you can understand the definition of happiness. As you are in a job, there is nothing you can do to avoid it. The way to live a life in your case would be to switch your vision.

    For you, I can recollect a quote: "If you feel somewhere lost behind everyone, standing at the last and in front of you is the fiery competitive world, and you feel like you have lost everything... Turn back and you will realize you are the leader of the world.

    The life is in your hands gauhar. Try to enjoy minute things of life, finer aspects of life... As for example, meeting with your old friends in weekends, spending some time with yourself in terrace alone, trying to love what you do instead of trying to do what you love.


    Things will soon be good for you hopefully and keep smiling, believe me it can do wonders...... Behind every dark cloud... You know about the silver lining, dont you? So stop "surviving" and start living a good happy life.. Things will become good as days pass by. Believe me, and believe in your God. There is no one in this world which comes with only grief to bank upon. Forget the past, and try to live in your office environment as if you are in your college... Obviously DONT bunk classes there ! C'mon it was a joke, you can smile now !

    Enjoy every bits of life..... it is wonderful !

    Hey, I remember going to the first grade, I said that kindergarten was better...
    :)

    Today's standards VS. the shitty economics makes it hard to most people who are not rock stars to really enjoy life. I don't have any good advice for you guys in here, but remember that most people are unhappy with their lives exactly like you and I.
    You can also have everything, including money, looks, women, family and still cry for some reason that your life sucks...

    It is all in the brain chemistry.
    You want to feel better? Exercise regularly - it releases the good stuff (serotonine) to your blood stream, hug someone you love - thats oxytocine for you...
    Go out with your friends and pick up girls with funny pick up lines... ;)

    @Miskecf

    See you have to take some responsibilities at some point of time, isn't it? Then why feel the burden? We can still enjoy while working... Change your point of view buddy ! And yes, enjoy the last days of your college to the fullest!

    @DavidFa,

    Good advice bro with some medicinal facts ! Yes, living life is all about caring and sharing. Give more to others and you will get more in return for sure. Remember the Law of Karma ? So next time you meet your old friends, take a day out and spend a day with them and relive those pleasant good ol' days again !

    Oh, how could I forget?!?! - GET A PET!
    I just got my little kitty 2 months ago and I love her so much! (a bit too curious if you know cats, but it's worth it.)

    And another little advice if you have the money for it: move to a better neighbourhood... :p

    :) Thank you friend... I'll keep that in mind... :D

    And thank you DavidFa1976.

    You know, your life never turns out as you desire or plan. All you get is broken hearts and shattered aspirations. I guess thats life...

    I'm not even 'existing' I am just simply there, I know what I want, what I need physically, emotionally, spiritually, I however can not have it. It's caused me to simply be lost like I've never experienced before in my life.

    Most people are living paycheck-to-paycheck these days without many extras in their lives.

    @Gauhar

    You know, your life never turns out as you desire or plan. All you get is broken hearts and shattered aspirations. I guess thats life...

    No thats not LIFE ! That is the perfect way how NOT to define life. To me, Life is a bed of roses, for enjoying the fragrance, you must also get acquainted with the thorns in it... Life never turns out as you desire and plan, why? Because either you are asking for more than a limit from life or you are not executing the plan perfectly. Hoping that after maybe a week or so, you will write here that "I don't know how, but my Life is really rocking now!"

    @shrimpsey

    Glad you are enjoying your life ! Maybe you can spill some beans here about how come your views changed today from those before 30 days from now.

    @ebk

    I'm not even 'existing' I am just simply there

    Try to look in a mirror and recognize yourself. If you can smile, and see that in mirror, you are having enough powers to relive your life once again. From your sig. I assume you have either been in a love or broken your heart. See life will break your heart many a times, for hearts are made up of mirrors. If you believe in yourself and move on in life, you can still live a good life. If you would have elaborated more on your problem maybe I or someone from DP could help you !

    @InsightReiki

    Earning money is essential but does not fulfill the essence of life ! I hope you are not the one from the line you quoted buddy !

    You need to act smartly instead of working hard these days. Be contended with what you get, but strive to live better everyday. Here are some things which can be done easily and can make your life beautiful !

    * To fall in love.
    * To laugh until it hurts your stomach..
    * To find mails by the thousands when you return from a vacation.
    * To go for a vacation to some pretty place.
    * To listen to your favorite song in the radio.
    * To go to bed and to listen while it rains outside.
    * To clear your last exam.
    * To receive a call from someone, you don't see a lot, but you want to.
    * To find money in a pant that you haven't used since last year .
    * To laugh at yourself looking at mirror, making faces. :)))
    * Calls at midnight that last for hours. :))
    * To laugh without a reason.
    * To accidentally hear somebody say something good about you.
    * To wake up and realize it is still possible to sleep for a couple of hours.
    * To hear a song that makes you remember a special person.
    * To be part of a team.
    * To watch the sunset from the hill top.
    * To make new friends.
    * To feel butterflies! In the stomach every time that you see that person.
    * To pass time with your best friends.
    * To see people that you like, feeling happy.
    * To use a sweater of the person that you like and find that it still smells of their perfume.
    * See an old friend again and to feel that the things have not changed.
    * To take an evening walk along the beach.
    * To have somebody tell you that he/she loves you.
    * To laugh ........laugh. .......and laugh ........ remembering stupid things done with stupid friends.


    Practice them !!!

    Well for me making money is not the scope of my life
    Saddly is hard to live alone with no GF for exemple or not to have people to go places ..
