living vs. ALIVE

'just because you're living doesn't mean you're alive'

heard that song lyric yesterday. Not sure who it's by, but it's a good one.

Got me thinking about what I'm doing with my life, if I'm truly alive...

'lot of people forget to LIVE life...They settle into a way of thinking and play maintenance until that 'magic' time when they'll 'break out of they're shell, and DO something'.

They look around at 80 and realize that time never came. (Freedom 55 anyone?)

Like they expected a sign along the way saying, "HAY! NOW'S THE TIME TO START LIVING!!'

Something I've realized over the last 5 months is that we really only get one crack at this life thing. Every day that you're breathing is the only day like it, and there won't be another one. Just like every breath is the only one like it, there won't be another one of those either.

(You thinking about you're breath pattern?)

My dad and I came up with this theory when I was a teenager, 'you make a decision whether you make a decision or not...', meaning, even the choice to not make a decision is a decision.

So if you're lazy, you're choosing to be lazy, even if you don't realize it...

throws it on it's head, right?

If you hate you're job, then quit.

If you hate where you live, move.

If your marriage isn't working, the fix it. Make it right. TALK to your wife, your husband. Clear the air. MAKE IT WORK.

You're the only one trapping you in you're own life...

All it takes is guts.

Being ALIVE.

Making a choice...really.

Hmm...
