‘Man is but a passing flame….’- George MacDonald

According to George MacDonald, ‘Man is but a passing flame….’ That is true.

Life is passing. Whether we are living well or not, life is passing. It is not going to wait for you. It is certainly not going to wait for anyone, not even me.

And that is why we should never joke with our lives. That is also why we should live our lives to the fullest.

All we have is now, right now, right where you are, not later, not tomorrow, not next week.

Don’t use this moment to worry about your past mistakes. Don’t go there!

Instead of reliving your past mistakes, your past failures, your past disappointments, why not use it to explore new opportunities?

Why not use it to love yourself even more? Why not use it to connect with other great people in your life?

Why not use it to enjoy a great book, a hot cup of coffee?

Why not use it to do what you have always wanted to do? Why not use it to go to where you have always wanted to go? Why not?

Why not? You deserve it. Give it to yourself. You deserve to be here. Live your life really well. Do not try to fix your life, just live it.

Remember, no one is perfect. You are not alone in your fight. So whatever it is that is bothering you, you can face it.

All you need to do is to believe in yourself. Remember, ‘You are not alone.’

4 Ways To Live As Your True Self

You are here to do great things. You are not here to live other people’s lives. You are here to live as your true self.

You are not an imitator. You are an original. You deserve to live your life as your true self. Do not try to be like , to talk like, to think like, to eat like, to dress like, to drink like other people.

You are you for a reason. So do not ignore your uniqueness. It is important. It is important because you will not strive to achieve your dreams if you don’t have the courage to live as your true self.

Living your as your true self starts with self-love. When it comes to who we are, self-love is everything. Why is that? Because if you do not love yourself, according to Lilly Singh, ‘You will not work hard to for yourself if you don’t love yourself. You will not fulfill your dreams if you disliked the person who dreamed them.’ No matter where you, do not be scared to show yourself some love. It is the right thing to do for yourself- your mind, your body, and your soul.

To live as your true self, do not forget to make time for yourself. Make time to think, to rest, to refresh, and to reconnect with yourself. Stop running. Stop jumping from place to place. Live in the moment. Embrace the moment. It is all you have right now. If you lose it, you will never get it back. In the words of Lilly Singh, ‘When you are experiencing something exciting, beautiful, or rewarding, try to disconnect and just take the moment in.’ Why? Because if you lose it, it is gone.

To live as your true self, why not commit to your dreams? You don’t know what you can do for yourself, for the world, if you don’t commit to something. When you commit to something important to you, success is within your reach. According to Lilly, ‘You’ll never truly know if you can accomplish something or be great at something if you don’t commit.’ When it comes to success, commitment is everything. If you want to be successful, you must commit yourself to what is in front of you right now.

You can live as your true self if you do not give up on your self, on your dreams. When it comes to your own success, you are responsible for your own success. Remember, if you ‘don’t give up before you even try’, you will succeed. The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to commit yourself to what you are doing right now, not what you are going to do tomorrow?’
