How To Start Living

 Signs You Don't Have A Life, And How To Have One

Many people are not living. They exist, but are yet to live. Existing is different from living. A wood exist, and is useful but not living. A rock exists, is useful but not living. You can be alive and yet not living. Living is beyond usefulness, it is a continual flowing river. Change is involved, growth is involved, evolving is involved. 

What are the clear signs you're not living?

1. No root in yourself

What this means is that you're not making decisions and having inspired actions from within you. You live from the external information you receive. Your thoughts are not really yours, they were from things you read or heard. Somehow your ideas aren't really yours.

2. You don't make choices independent of others. 

Your choices were things you were told to do. Somehow you have others to blame for your mistakes and to credit for your successes. Not that others can't contribute to our growth through corrections, directions and guidance, but your choices are majorly from what you're told to do.

3. What people think of you, still matters.

People will think things, and they have the right to. Its up to you, to decide not to care. Caring about what people think won't change anything because different people have different opinions of you and many most likely misunderstand you. 

There are other points, but these three are the most important ones.

How do you start living?

1. Start questioning the things you see and hear.

Is it really true, or its a seasonal truth? Some things are only true for a specified time period, and afterwards its no longer true. 

From questioning, you'll begin to receive your own answers. 

2. Spend more time in prayer. 

This is where most of the change will happen in your mind, heart and soul. The mind heart and soul were created to change. You can't keep them for too long else they become a river which no longer bless. They are to evolve and this happens in prayers. This is where you'd begin to take root in yourself.

3. Give

Practice giving your time, resources, love etc to others, then you'd be given so much more. For it is written "give, and it shall be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over" 

In conclusion, you are alive but not living? You can today, if you decide to question everything, pray and give.
