Life is meant to be experienced

Everything we do is an experience. We experience the world around us as long as we are open to accepting what we are experiencing. When you can think about life as what you experience instead of what is happening to you, there is more joy and peace you can find.

Life is being lived even when we are doing things we don't want to do. I think about how my students may drag their feet to learn a math concept. Or how they may talk over me sometimes. But when I pan out and I see that they are talking over me, but they are joyous in what they are laughing about and loving about in that moment, then they are experiencing life in real time. And while respect matters, they are present and engaged in the world around them. So much so that they forget their teachers can hear everything they say.

As adults we tend to get caught up in the lists and logisitcs that we forget to experience life as it is. The things we try and "get through" takes away the experience, the life within the moment.

When are you going to choose to start living in each moment, instead of waiting for life to happen?

Life is happening in front of your eyes. Contribute to your world and you may just gain more than you ever thought possible.
