Live and Love

“What am I here for?” ;  “What is my purpose?” ; “What are my deepest passions I wish I could pursue?” …

Have you ever asked yourself these questions?  

It’s perfectly alright if you said, yes.  In fact, there are a lot of people who live day to day and without a real purpose, or are on a mission to find it.

Sometimes, we flat out just get stuck in a rut.  Stuck in our routine, simply because we are comfortable and safe.  We just do what we are supposed to do yet want for more. Yep, I’ve been there.

Many people just don’t see that there is something deeper and more meaningful to life, and also inside themselves.  Seems we end up looking towards the outside to try to be the prettiest we can be, with a good body, nice hairstyle, always put together, a grand home and fancy cars.  We are always wanting more.  Instead of looking at the exterior things, we would be wise to look inside ourselves. 

Dig to find the things that make you spark.  That spark is your purpose.  When you find that spark, you feel free to live and love.

From there, you find your happiness, which leads to healthy living.  This healthy happiness serves you emotionally, physically, and mentally.  There is so much truth to this verse: Proverbs 14:30, “A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body (NLT).”

“The accouterments of life were so rich and varied, so elaborated, that almost no place at all was left for life itself. Each and every accessory was so costly and beautiful that it had an existence above and beyond the purpose it was meant to serve – confusing the observer and absorbing attention.” ― Thomas Mann
