Living vs Existing

 

"Are you living or just existing?"
-Tyler Perry

This is a question that is good for all of us to ask ourselves from time to time. Sometimes we get wrapped up in things and we end up existing, rather than living fully. It happens; to everyone. Asking this question can be a great practice, of course, not just asking it, but answering it honestly and doing something about it if you feel you are only existing and not living. We only get one chance here, in this life, on this planet, with the people we love, in this body, with this mind. Time is precious and we never know when we will no longer be here. I know I'd rather spend it living. It takes work, determination and persistence.
