“There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way, not give others absurd maddening claims upon it. ” I read this quote on the Myspace of a high school friend just today and this quote really hits home with me. I tell you what, if this quote has no meaning for you and doesn’t bring up any sort of inspiration, you are not experiencing life. The only true life is a life well lived, the way we want to live it. I mean really, is there any other way to live than the way you want to?
What have you experienced in life that is most meaningful to you? What pictures are imprinted upon your mind that you reflect on time and time again? What do you love to do? Where do you love to go? What is your perfect day? I know the answer to all of these questions. What has the most meaning to you in your life and what are you willing to do to keep that? What are you not doing that you would love to do? Find your passion, something that you love doing, and go do it. That is living life on your terms.
Have you ever just sat there and enjoyed a sun set? Have you ever seen a sun set, while above the clouds? It is amazing! You really don’t know where the sky stops and eternity begins. Have you been in the Bermuda Triangle at midnight swimming with the luminescent microplankton, where every movement in the water lights up the water around you? It feels like you are a glorified being floating in heaven. Have you been to the other side of the world? It feels as though time travel is possible when you leave Sydney at 1 PM and arrive in Los Angeles at 10 AM the same day. Have you seen the water in Hawaii? The water is so clear you can see 100 ft to the bottom and see the smallest fish in colorful detail. Have you seen the Grand Canyon in Arizona? Have you met your soulmate and partner? Do you have a sense of fulfillment and happiness? Can you picture your life 10 years from now and know exactly where you will be? Will you be successful? Will you be happy? Life is all about creating joyful, fulfilling memories. Live life to it’s fullest and experience the abundance the world has to offer. Choose to live life in your own way, for yourself and those you love the most!
