“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist.” – Oscar Wilde
Existing, by definition, is a stance of simply “occupying” the world. Accepting whatever is offered to you or lands in your lap. It may look different for each individual, but there is one thing in common: a lack of direction. No purpose. Living is a different thing. Someone who exists feels as if everything is outside of their control. Someone who lives knows they determine the path their life takes and does whatever it takes to get there.
You can go through the motions and experience the day the same way: over and over. Perhaps, looking back and regretting the time wasted or the dreams that were ignored. Or you can choose to carry out positive, meaningful experiences that bring you closer to the vision you have for your life.
In what ways are you just existing? What is one thing you can do today to truly live?
