Someone wise once said: Life is for the living. I understand it more that I am an adult with a family and responsibilities. Because of work and other responsibilities, we let life just happen to us. We need to live--not just survive. Don't view the world from the outside. Come in.

One of the mistakes I made in the past was letting life "happen" to me. Now I re-invent my life every day.

I like this thought. We simply need to live in "day-tight" compartments. just for today, do well. Don't let in the past and do not think of the future. today only-- it's all we can control.

Scared of Frogs, I agree with you. I think we get either overwhelmed or underwhelmed, and just sit back. It can be easier not to react, respond or participate. In the long run, it can be devastating to the life you live. We can't just wait for things to happen; we have to be the change that we are seeking.

one of my many faces is to let everyone think I am happy and content with my life... Truth be told.. I am frustrated with my life and where I ended up in life. Tired of living obliviously. Tired of being lonely, but afraid to get back on the treadmill of life, or is it trying to get off the treadmill and into life?
