Preparing To Live

Let me quote The Grasshopper from years ago: "If you don’t feel alive everyday, you're at death’s doorstep."

Feeling alive is recognizing the moment you’re in and making the most of it. It won’t be coming around again, so take advantage of it while it’s here.

Seems we often withdraw from the moment we’re in to be somewhere else. That somewhere else is being in our head – a giant moment killer.

Participating in moments makes us feel alive and well. All else disappears when we engage in the moment. If you are having a conversation with someone and you go inside your head to rehearse what you are going to say next, you’ve come out of that moment and, more importantly, lose the aliveness of connection with the other person.

I have no idea how long I’ll live. That decision is out of my hands. Deciding to live everyday of your life is a choice you can make. It starts with participating in life’s moments.

Labeling moments as "big" or "small" indicates a head trip. All moments, no matter how they’re judged afterward, deliver equal amounts of life.

Don't take my word for it, prove it to yourself. Participate in more moments and measure you aliveness. What you’ll discover is that staying in your head keeps you in the dead zone. 

Coming out to play will make you feel alive everyday.

All the best,

John
