The Art of Living
September 14, 2014"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Some people just exist." - Oscar Wilde
Growing up, you realize that living life isn't exactly as easy as it is. You can simply do as you please, or you can thrive to be better, do better. Everyone should focus on the latter. We are put onto this earth to be someone and leave our mark; to show the world what we are capable of. However, throughout the course of living, the world tends to eat at us. Slowly and then all at once. Some of us are capable of trotting through, some of us get eaten alive. It's crucial to find an equilibrium within yourself, in order to come out a strong, level-headed and harmonious individual. The worst that can happen to someone with a low sense of self, is doubting. And the worst thing about doubting is having someone trigger such thing. You have to know thyself; develop a sense of confidence and will-power that will be undefeated if ever tampered with by someone else. Easier said than done, that is true. But it takes likeminded individuals to push you to your limit and further.
Surround yourself with those who challenge you; not to make you a bitter person, but a better person. You begin to develop new skills that will plunge you into success and make you an overall enlightened individual. You discover, think, manipulate; but in a good way, create and foster things you've never thought you were capable of until now. That is how you grow as both a student and creature on this Earth. Never question or doubt yourself in the dullest of moments, instead encourage yourself to rise above the obstacles you endure. Never copy or imitate, rather be inspired. There are enough carbon-copy's in this world, you deserve to be a new light in the paths of others. And never feel the need to prove to others, your capabilities and your strengths; doing so only weakens your morale.
Working towards yourself becomes a transition point between existing and living. And it's okay to stumble upon minor difficulties along the way, just never let that impede your journey. It's also important to remember that there is more than one way to live. Find your own niche and make it your home. No one else can take that away from you, no matter the complications that may arise. Life is unpredictable; don't let that alter your sense of self.
