Live the life you love?
or
Love the life you live?
First of all if you're dyslexic, you might have some time digesting the above. But don't worry! Not all hope is gone and it's not an illness and with hard work it will pay off. Hey come'on, Albert Einstein had it. So did Alexander Graham Bell. So did Tom Cruise!
So what is life? Life is what you and me are doing right now. We are living. Some of you might ask “You call this living a life?" Well I say shut up. If you're having internet access and reading this now it shouldn't be that bad.
Is there a life you love? Sitting on the sands by the sea, playing your ukelele, with your partner beside you rolling up peanut butter and jam sandwiches, and your kids building sandcastles with their mini pails and spades. Or jumping off high cliffs into water, scaling rocky mountains and speeding like NASCAR drivers. Or killing everyone you hate, stealing from the rich (not necessarily giving it to the poor) and running from state to state leading an exciting fugitive life. Is there a life you love?
Is there a life you live? With books and papers stacked higher than the Empire state Building, stuck in an 8-5 hell hole with showers of faeces, friends holding knives constantly glancing at your back. Is there a life you live?
Are you able to integrate both axioms (not sure if I'm using this word correctly hahahhahahahahaha sorry this is an inside joke =O ) , so that you actually have a life you love living for.
That's right you do. Sometimes, or rather mostly all the time, people find themselves tired of their work, and little time for fun. Didn't Jack tell you what happens to him when he has all work? If I could borrow what I received in the mail once, it was a story about the weight of a glass of water. The professor holds up this glass of water and asks the class what's the weight of it. A range of answers were given.
Then the professor said, "It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it.
If I hold it for a minute, it is OK.
If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance.
It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
"If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier."
"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again."
Moral is that we have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Instead, carry a bouquet of flowers back home, be it for your wife, or your mother. Or contrive a favourite dish for your husband either from the kitchen or the local food stall nearby. Or taking your kids or siblings out for a meal. Or sitting together and watching television.
There will always be problems. It's how we handle them that makes life seem comfortable, or unbearing for us. So stop whatever you are doing now! And take a break! Achieve your goal, slowly but surely!
And live every day the way you love, for you love every day that you live!
