Are we alive?

To live is to err. Every day, we learn, grow and make mistakes. Isn’t that what life is about?

Sitting stagnant. Feeling but not reacting. That is surviving; not living; not thriving. Do not settle for surviving. Make every breath matter more than the last one did; let it mean something. Our existence is not defined by those around us; we define that existence.

Never take no for an answer. Never accept that a dream is just a dream. Never let yourself wonder what could have happened. Never attribute anything to fate. Even randomness has a pattern if we look close enough.

Imagine if in some alternate universe there exists a version of you that has made all the choices you were too scared to make. Would you want to be them? If yes, then you have been doing something wrong.

It is never too late to start demanding more from your life and from yourself. Being afraid, concerned about how others may feel, worrying about failure – these are artificial impediments holding you back. These cannot stop you from achieving your goals unless you give them permission to do so.

So make errors. Be foolish. Dream. Turn your life into what you want it to be.

Just do anything but accept your fate as just 1 of 7.8 billion people – a living organism on this planet that does everything but live.
