Why You Must Love Your Life?
Regardless of what you’re going through, you need to learn to love your fucking life. All of it, the good times as well as the shit times, the mediocre times as well.
Take lots and lot of pictures, but don’t look at your life constantly through your phone or camera. Make sure you take the time to absorb what is going on with all of your senses. Take the time to enjoy what you are experiencing.
All of those people that are important to you? Make sure you tell them that you love them, that you care about them. Thank them for the things that they have done for you. Appreciate them and never take them for granted.
Talk to random strangers, I know I do! I offer compliments to strangers all the time. If I’m standing in line I’ll start chatting to the people in front of me. I went to Melbourne last year and caught the airport bus back to the airport. Every single person on that bus was looking at their phone, I couldn’t believe it. Not one person was chatting, they were just all absorbed in that little devic. I sat there on the trip watching the beautiful sunset, and just the cars and traffic around me…… how sad that no-one was willing to put their phone down and just chat with someone.
Do things that you’re scared to do. Did you know that’s what my bucket list is about? All those things that I wouldn’t like to do, I do them. I’ve had a big python draped around my neck, done a canyon swing (like a bungy jump) and I’ve also done a nude photo shoot (boudoir as they’re called!). Not sure what’s next, maybe a nudist camp as I couldn’t think of anything worse! LOL But by doing those things you’re scared to do, you’re growing. You’re not only pushing your boundaries and getting out of your comfort zone – you’re actually learning new things and what you’re capable of!
You know why you need to do those things listed above? Because so many of us will die and no-one will remember anything that we did. So step out of your comfort zone, do things you’re scared to not, just the ones that you want to. Take pictures so others can see and remember.
This is your life and it’s up to you to make it the best that you can. Make this the best story that was ever written because we don’t know when life may be up. We often don’t get a warning about it. So seriously folks, don’t waste that shit. Don’t waste one minute of your life waiting for ‘when the time is right’.
Make your life count in ways you’ve never even dreamed of. Live it – don’t just exist in it.
So, what is something that you’re going to do that makes you step out of your comfort zone?
Here is a video of me doing the Canyon Swing 🙂
Wow, that looks so scary and fun!
I discovered you giving talks with Super U. Love you. I feel like you are a dear friend. You are exactly right about this. I hate seeing everyone with their heads bent looking at their phones. What a waste.
