Are you living or dying?

One indisputable fact is that you are dying, may not be today, tomorrow, or the next year, but eventually.

Your days on earth are numbered. That's how it is. That's how much time you have to live while slowly reaching your death, or simply while dying slow.

But are you living? While there is still time to die?


What is living? What counts as living?


Technically, the many days from your birth to death, maybe.


But, you know that that is not it, that is not it at all.


Then what else? What else is living?


How about the moments that you actually felt alive, happy, or excited for experiencing something, simple or grand?


What can that experience be called?


What do you call it? Joy? Pleasure? Excitement? Or many synonyms there and forth?


How about the word, Freedom?


In those moments, can you say you were free from all your fears, insecurities, and responsibilities culminating into that experience?


If so, what if your life can totally be that experience? That is free from all your fears, insecurities, and responsibilities? Can that be called living?


How to achieve that? How to get rid of all the negativities that gobble up your mind and achieve that freedom that can make your life an actual ‘living experience’?


It's simple, but hard at the same time, especially in the backdrop of the society and patriarchal traditions that we have inherited!


Unfortunately, freedom is the last thing that our societal system has been offering! The freedom of a person has often been curtailed by responsibility insisted by others. It can be parents, husband, family, or society at large. It is evident in many aspects of, which has been our common way of life, like marriage or staying single, having children, education, career, and even death ceremonies.


When you try to free yourself and break those chains to achieve freedom, it is going to be a battle, and there will be wounds, either physical or emotional. You need a parallel sphere or circle that can help you from depression or anxieties on your way to freedom.


The other aspect of this journey to freedom is related to your career and financial health.


In any battle, financial health is as important as mental strength. You have to develop skills that make you unique and creative in any field of your choice. Your passion for the field can be the driver.


If you can stand on your own feet, then it makes it that much easier to find your strength in your journey to freedom!


Good luck and bon voyage!


Find your feet and freedom.


Live it while you still have time before

dying!
