What Is Life

What Is Life

Let's start with the dictionary definition of life:


1.
the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism,reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally.
2.
the sum of the distinguishing phenomena of organisms, especially metabolism, growth, reproduction, and adaptation to environment.
3.
the animate existence or period of animate existence of an individual:

I'm not saying those definitions are bad, but is that all life is about? Do you see your life as the difference between breathing and not breathing? Do you see your life as an organism that can reproduce? Do you see your life as being in an animated existence? I sure as hell hope not.

Is being in an unhappy marriage or unhappy job or just being unhappy, LIFE? I don't believe so.

Is eating three meals a day and doing nothing productive, LIFE? Is being drunk or stoned all day, LIFE? Is letting the outside world have control over you, LIFE? Is being scared and depressed over the devastation that's going on around the world, LIFE?  No friggen way.

Life is all about what you make of it. 

Life is finding all the happiness that's available to you. Life is enjoying the ones you love and more important, the ones who love you. Life is being proud of your accomplishments. Life is leaving a positive image in the heart and mind of other people. Life is being able to appreciate LIFE. 

Life Is Loving Yourself
