You are not here for long, make the most of it

Just think, you come into this world, unable to walk, talk, dress yourself or eat on your own.

A year or two, you begin to walk, speak a few words and have your first taste of independence.

You blink your eyes, and just like that you are coming out of your teenage years and entering adulthood.

You no longer have to rely on your parents to feed and dress you, you are standing on your own two feet, and now have become an adult with responsibilities.

Everyones adulthood is different from others, some have families of their own, others pursue the road of a career, working for themselves, travelling the world and being comfortable in life, others experience unpleasant situations in life. Everyone has different experience in life to others, but it also comes down to the choices an individual makes in their life.

Regardless, if ones situations is good or bad, that individual has a choice how they allow it to interfere with their mindset and happiness.

You see, we are not on this planet for too long, years fly by more so as you get older. I remember being younger and at school and watching the clock tick so as I could get out of school and go home so as I could play out with my friends.

I wanted to grow up and not be a child no more, what a fucking joke that was. What I didn't know back then was to simply live in the present moment of time. Instead, I was going around in circles for several years not knowing what I wanted, what would make me feel happy and the life I wanted, and simply wishing my days to pass by, not fulfilling them the way I should be.

I am now in my forties, I look in the mirror and can see the changes from the outside to what I was; I am more slimmer now than I was in my teens and mid twenties, I look more older, ok no grey hairs yet, apart from a natural blonde streak or a ginger hair, as my dad was fair, yes I am a brunette lol.

Most of my friends are having midlife crisis, I am yet to reach that point, but I can say my feet are firmly on the ground, for now that is and the choice I have made to not allow my age to define me.

Now days, I prefer to concentrate on myself and who I have become; I am no longer that little girl who would look at the clock and wish time would fly by fast.

After suffering from health issues myself and nursing my late father, it has been highlighted more than ever to myself that our journey is short on this earth and I choose to live my life to the max.

I have learned valuable lessons I would like to share with you, when you live your life for yourself and how it makes you think and feel inside:

• You know what you want out of life.
• You live in the present moment knowing better that it is the way forward.
• You appreciate your days, regardless if good or bad, knowing some days will be better than others.
• You learn new lessons or know the signs of existing ones if not serving you to avoid.
• You become more in-tuned with your needs and honour them.
• You don't waste time instead, you use time to your advantage.
• You understand that your looks are aging, your body is changing and just allow the process without resisting it.
• You don't allow yourself to get into arguments knowing time is precious instead, you are aware who is in your circle and who you don't want to be in your circle.
• You don't argue with people, you simply pull them up for their mistakes if, effecting your mental health and move on.
• You become more aware what you like doing in your time and what you enjoy.
• You don't resist into any given situation instead, you go with your flow and trust that all will pan alright for you in the end.
• You have no time nor interest in what others are doing, only interest you have is where you need to be going.
• You appreciate your loved ones and never afraid to show them your appreciation and love you have for them.
• You have no time to gossip or entertain gossipers as it is a waste of your time.
• Life is too short to care what others think of you.
• Other peoples opinions don't necessarily work for you, you can listen but deep inside you know what suits you better.
• You spend more time with those you love and appreciate you for you.
• You think fuck it and just do it because it makes you feel good.
• Your fears lessen instead, you stand up against them to take back your control.
• You spend less time on social media and more time enjoying your life.

The moral of the story is, life is too short, do what makes you happy and don't age and live in regret on what you could have done, said instead, do it now and don't look back.

From my own experience I faced many fears I had a long time ago and yes, it is well worth following pursuit. You will feel liberated, happier and live a life without fears restricting your happiness.
