You cannot base your life on earnings; life is worth more than anything you could earn.You cannot base your life on what you think you know; because life can never be learned.
You cannot base your life on "what if's" or "what could be's", you cannot base your life what you eyes choose to see.
Life is bigger than anything we can conceive in our head, and you can only have life when you live, you can't live when you're dead.
So my question I ponder, my question I ask, why do we take advantage of a life that can be taken from us so fast?
Why do we let money consume us, why do we get mad at the little stuff? When did a beautiful life stop being good enough?
We are blinded by flashy things, they distort our eyes, they fill our lives with their promised lies.
We care more about our bank account statements than the statements we make, we no longer pride ourselves on what we give, but more so what we take.
So how do you measure your worth, how do you measure your place on this earth?
Are you measured by your talents, or your lack of, are you worthy because of your ambitions, or none of the above?
Are you defined by how others define you, are you measured by what you can and can't do?
Life is not a race, there is no trophy that gets handed to us if we win, because life doesn't reward 1st or 2nd place, life rewards us from within.
How do we base our lives, how do we base ourselves? are we just people in picture frames that sit on shelves?
Are we famous singers, or average joes, are we people who got to the top by stepping on others toes?
Are we so scared that we won't make it that we forget we will, are we so focused on getting to the top that we never appreciate the climb of the hill?
Life is not measured by anything, but only by what we make it, life is given to us for a reason, so why don't we take it?
Life is not a cake walk, but life is also not be diminished, so do what you say and start what you finish.
Be who you are and be proud, announce your passion and announce in loud.
Don't measure your life on burdens, don't belittle the gift you have everyday, because without life there wouldn't even be burdens for you to say.
If you are tired of feeling upset, be thankful you still are able to feel, because pain is temporary and it reminds us that we are real.
Life is not a puzzle that you have to solve, life is not a lesson that you have to learn, life is not about what you have or what you are gonna earn.
How do you measure a life? I cannot answer that question, no matter how much I write, no matter how much reflection.
Nobody can determine their purpose, because we all have the same worth, we are all meant to be here and we have since birth.
We came into this world to not be measured, but to go beyond measure, we were given something precious, that's why they call life a treasure.
So don't be consumed on making it, on figuring out what you have to do, because your life is worth living, your worth is being you.
you may be piss drunk, pissed off, or piss poor, you may own property, own someone's heart, or just own a store.
You may be sad or you may make other's sad, you may be mad or you may make other's mad.
You may travel the world but never really understand what it means, or you may never leave your town and envision in the world in your dreams.
There is no ruler in life, no, life cannot be defined, because time cannot be tracked if you run out of time.
The beauty in life lies in the unknown, so venture and you will find, that you are not a measurement of a human being because you can never be defined.
That is life, that is all it has to be, will you blinded by distraction or will you see?
We will never know the extent of life until we don't have it, and after we don't, we won't be able to grab it.
So stop worrying about if you will be successful, just trust that you are already are, because if you weren't worth it, you wouldn't have gotten this far.
Ambitions are beautiful, and dreams we should possess, but don't measure yourself against them and deem yourself anything less.
So now, how do you measure your life? By first place ribbons and big wins? Or do you not measure, but appreciate the worth you possess within.
Be bold and be beautiful, be daring and be real, be soft in your words and be open to feel.
Be happy with your life because we only get one, and we will never be able to fully appreciate it until it is done.
You are not a measurement, you are not found on a richter scale, you are not deemed by a success or by a fail.
The problem with rulers is that they all have ends, and as do we, but our measurement still continues even when we leave.
Our lives are entangled in the others we have met, people's memories keep us alive, but rulers, they forget.
Your worth is not measurable, because your worth never ends, it is embedded in the lives of others, your family and your friends.
One day we will not be here, but we will never disapear, because we leave trials in others from when we were here.
It is now I ask you all to celebrate your life and to embrace it and smile, you are worth your life, that is why they say life is worthwhile.
Definitely keep this stuff up! Very cool...you got some thoughts that can help anybody.
ReplyDeletethank you! if you ever want me to write you anything, let me know and ill throw it up here. i appreciate you reading this!
DeleteHopefully you listen to your own words, and don't let the prospect of death paralyze you anymore. If you make a point to live by your words, then life should always be an open book for you, without a fear for when it ends, or what you've accomplished before that moment.
ReplyDeleteInteresting read.
