Are You Doing Something That Matters?

If you are not doing things that matter to you, to your life, you are just wasting your precious life. You can’t build yourself by doing things that don’t matter. You can’t get to where you want to be by doing things that are not going to get you there.

If you want to be successful in your life, you must “start something that means a lot to you.” If what you are doing right now doesn’t mean a lot to you, you are just wasting your time. Don’t waste your own time. It is your time. Don’t waste it on things that don’t mean a lot to you, to your dreams. Suzy Kassem writes, “Start something that means a lot to you.” If you want to grow your life, if you want your boss to keep you, if you want your boss to promote you, if you want to start your own business, you must start something that means a lot to you. Without it, you are not going anywhere. Without doing something that matters, you are not going to reach your final destination (if there is one).

How To Be Wholly Alive

I am alive. What about you? When you are alive, it means you know where you are, where you are going, what is important to you, and what you are doing to make your life better. Being alive means you are not afraid to think for yourself. It means you are not afraid to live your life in your own way.

“Life is hard to live, but you must be wholly alive to live it.”

Sometimes being alive means standing up for yourself, for your life. Some people will like you, will support you. Other people will hate you for standing up for yourself. But don’t let people’s reactions stop you from being alive.

“Whatever you do, be wholly alive to do it.”

Don’t pretend to be alive. Just be alive. Live your life. Be fully present. Don’t pursue too many things at the same time. Focus on your life, your growth. When you love people, just love them with all your heart. When you work, work with all your power. When you play with people, play with all your heart. When you think, think for yourself. According to William Saroyan, “Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell.” Simply put, whatever you do, do it with all your might. That is what it means to be wholly alive. Life is hard to live, but you must be alive to live it. Are you ready to live it?
