Are You Living Or Are You Only Surviving

Good Day to all members of this lovely family, anywhere you are in the four corners of this beautiful planet we call earth. I am hooping that everyone is doing marvelous this day

I have not been too hands on with my blogging lately so much that I miss it a lot.

A friend of mine me this question just a few months ago when I was feeling too depressed to even go outside for some bouts of fresh air. At that time I did not have any answer for her because I felt like she was judging me for my behavior, but as she left me laying in my bed I realized that she did make a valid point. At that point in my life I was only surviving

I had to go and find the difference between the two, Living and Surviving I found that when you are living, that's when you live your life with a purpose not letting anything or anyone holds you back from chasing whatever dream you have. Surviving on the other hand in life is when you are doing the bare minimum to get by. Everything is a painful exercise when you are mere surviving.

This realization shocked me to a point that I had to make a big "'u turn"' and changed my perspective about my life.

I had been given a gift of life. What am I doing with it except waste away that gift, and so change I did. That is the reason I wanted to write about that change today. I am ever thankful to my sister and friend for pulling me out of that darkness

I am living and nothing is going to change that now, and what about you?

Have a beautiful and productive day further my friends and family
