To Be Alive Is A Grand Thing

Life is a gift. Live your life. Don’t waste it. Don’t try to be who you are not. Do not compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to yourself. Because you are a unique human being. Celebrate your life with what you have. Stop thinking about what is missing in your life. Celebrate your life. Start today. Do it today. Do it now!

“Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping.”- Jordan Peterson

There is no time to waste on useless things. The only time you have here on earth is yours to enjoy. Treat yourself with love and respect. Never say negative things about yourself. If you don’t have anything good to say, just say, “Thank God.” That is enough.

Do not be afraid to express yourself. Because you are here on earth to express yourself, not to depress yourself. Live your life. It is yours to live. Do not delay your life. Do not delay living. If you don’t know what to do with your life, just live it. As Agatha Christie once said, “I like living. I have sometimes been wildly despairing, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I have know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”

Secondly, pray to be delivered from ignorance.

Thirdly, pray to be freed from all temptation and abandonment.” – Evagrius Ponticus

Can you pray purely?

“You will not be able to pray purely

if you are all involved with material affairs

and agitated with unremitting concerns.

For prayers is the rejection of conceptions.”– Evagrius Ponticus
