To Live Is Not Only To Breathe
Every day, we focus on daily tasks, moving or breathing, not realizing that we have lost our ability to dream, to hope, to enjoy every moment. Life is not just a routine, it is not about sleeping, eating and working. It is so much more.
We distinguish our leisure time from our working time. However, life is all that. We cannot limit or summarize it to a few days of vacation. Life is all of our time. If you don’t make the most of every second, you are missing out on a lot.
Learn to dream
Life is so much more, it is dreaming at every moment to get closer again and again to all those things that we wanted as children. What was your dream when you were a child? Think about everything you wanted that kept you alive. Perhaps you dreamed of becoming a pilot, a painter, or writing children’s stories. Why haven’t you made your dreams come true? What stopped you from doing this?
Often times, we stop dreaming to fulfill the dreams and desires of others, to lead a life that is not really our own, and we give up what we desire with all our heart. It is important to dream again, to remember what made your heart beat and put a smile on your face.
Enjoy every moment
Often we are surrounded by people but we are distracted by our own concerns, leaving out many things: the way the other person looks at us, what they are saying to us, their scent, their way of knowing what we are. let’s drink, the color of the sky …
Leave aside your cell phone, your concerns and listen, feel life, in its immense fullness and beauty, with all its smells, colors, people. Smile at all times, even if you are in pain. This smile will do you good.
To live is to act
To live is to act. It’s not just sitting at home waiting for things to happen. It is moving and doing all we can to strive for our dreams, for what we desire. It doesn’t matter if we fall, if we fail. We can always learn from it.

To live is to feel
Life is to feel, it is to cry, to laugh, to embrace, to caress. It is to prevent feelings from drowning us and to let them out. Sometimes we are used to hiding what we are feeling, to being impassive when we feel like crying, to limiting our gestures of affection. However, it’s time to learn how to let our feelings out and find out how rewarding it is.
Do you dare to hug someone? Kiss her ? What is stopping you? There is nothing better than offering kisses and hugs, than to surround someone with our body and hug them tightly, a hug that protects from fear, sadness and fear. solitude.
To live is not to be afraid
To live is to overcome your fear of living, of changing, of falling in love so as not to hurt, it is to stop having a job that we don’t like because we are afraid of not finding another one, stop silencing our feelings so as not to disappoint others.
Overcome your fear, know that most of the things that scare us have never happened and surely never will. And if they do occur, you will manage to cope with them, with all your courage. Enjoy the moment, how you feel now, and all the beautiful things around you.
