“She endured. And survived. Marginally, perhaps, but it is not required of us that we live well.”
Anne Cameron
The hell it ain’t!
I spent most of my adult life enduring. And surviving. And living marginally. And I’m here to tell you that “half-life” is a half-death and that isn’t any kind of life worth living.
Whether you believe this is the only ride we get on the merry-go-round or one of many on the path to enlightenment doesn’t really matter. This is the life we have right now and it is far too precious to squander meerly enduring and surviving. Far too precious to be lived marginally.
That is not a lesson most of us are taught as we prepare to enter adulthood. Maybe its to protect us from disapointment, or maybe because its not a lesson our parents ever learned.
But it is something we can learn ourselves if we open up to the beauty and wonder of the world around us. Once we begin to realize what a precious gift this life is, we begin to recognize the potential we have within, and living marginally is no longer a option.
I squandered my early adult years and spent undue energy ignoring my potential in a misguided attempt to “fit in” to a marginal life.
I’m SO over that! Now I choose to live my life embracing the wonder of my world and guiding others seeking their own precious lives.
At the end of my days, each and every one of the rest of my days, I want to look back and say “yes, I lived it well”.
