Living, not Surviving

The simple mindset that would change the world

"What could be the true essence of life?" - the majority of the human population asks silently. The essence of life is something natural, simple, which is often overlooked due to the "duties" imposed by the society or even by survival.

Even in modern society, essential goods are necessary to continue living, creating a monotonous life that is not appreciated by certain people. The biggest step may be to finally discover a life purpose. That moment when we finally have a perfect sense of what will give us joy. ‘’It seems so impossible to find it’’- they say. We can only find what makes us happy when we look deep into ourselfs.

The biggest mistake, that a lot of people fall in, is, in some way, letting themselves be influenced by the past, by the future, or by the external influence of another entity. This way, the mind creates an illusion and, later, the individual ends up realizing that they lived unhappy years, wasting beautiful moments.

Many may not realize it, living the illusion until the end of their lives. But, as I said earlier, it is something that comes from us. Previously, I’ve lived this way. Being realistic, sometimes I still need to be, to prepare myself for various situations. I try to reduce that to the maximum, because if I try to reflect on the subject, we come to the conclusion that the past has already been lived and the future still remains to live, it is not necessary to deposit so much concentration on them.

What matters the most is the present, the timeline we’re living is constantly changing. The key is to feel every point of energy connecting with you. Get a strong connection with the things that gives us good vibes. Basically, the end of life in this world and dimension is the same thing, for everyone. ‘’Why do we think so much about what isn’t necessary?’’: Because the actual world wants this to happen.

It is worldwide known that a lot of people can’t even choose, because their life conditions just don’t let them, the world doesn’t give them a chance. It is sad, indeed.

It is the freedom of each individual to choose the way of life to follow. Don’t let people control you and, please, don’t follow sellfish mindsets, that only bring you toxicity. Besides our life, there are a lot of souls around us: people, animals or even other unknown beings. ''Why wouldn't we feel the toxicity that you talk about?''- you're thinking. It's simple, it grows inside of us, faster than we expect, sometimes. It grows so much that it becomes ''normal'' to our body and mind, and then, we just let it continue. But we can't let that happen. We need to search, to study and to overcome that poison, we need love, harmony. I don't need, you don't need that sellfish.

Obviously, I also have goals like everyone else, but as I discussed earlier, to fulfill the goals it is not necessary to think so exhaustively about different timelines, we just need to resort that, althought briefly. I believe that there is a very wrong mindset worldwide, but it is also my opinion that the human race is growing faster and better than ever, with an increasing number of individuals choosing to live and a decreased number of animals trying just to survive.
