Live today’s story
Leave today’s worries
"Leave" has nothing to do with abandoning in this case, although many times, out of extreme reaction it comes to mind... leaving it all behind, without a second thought! But one must surely act a bit more wisely, especially if the destination is of vital importance. Leaving, or moving, causes a change... A change creates new situations, new thoughts, new feelings, and causes actions. It is, thus, an action that takes place, and must be created and caused, in order for it to allow new things to happen. If we put all those new things together, tangible, intangible, real and imaginary, we get the word "Live".
"Live" has everything to do with living your life to the fullest! Taking advantage of every moment, of every little detail, of every word, every advice you ever got, every breath you will take... We need to appreciate everything we have, and not everything we want to have. But, what we have will help us get what we want some day, and dreaming makes living wonder-full. And material things are not the focus here... A better life is something we strive to find and enjoy, either if it is where we are, or where we want to be. If where we are is not fulfilling us anymore, and we have a "ticket", then we should use that ticket as a passport, and fly away to our wonder-land.
There are myriads of beautiful places around the world! Busy ones, quiet ones, artistic ones, grey ones, cold ones, sunny ones, high up in green, or low down in blue... And we need to choose one. And choose how we want to live there. Athens for example is a city full of history, ancient and modern, a place where western civilization was once born. But, today, it falls in degradation, the "ruins-city" is now a ruin itself, with few things working properly; all because of people and their behaviors. And when you are seeking for a better life, or at least a bit of inspiration in your youthful years, you get ugliness and unbearable situations. And it's just sad..... Madrid is, on the other hand, a beautiful city that might lack the ancient history and the privileges of having a sea, but manages to preserve and renew itself, even following the black-sheep role passed from Greece to Spain on the EU stage. Living there gave me a taste of what it means to live in a civilized place, where the city cares how it looks and what it offers. And there are many cities out there that want to "dress up" nicely, decorate themselves, and make themselves more attractive to their citizens, who will thus be inspired to make amazing things, and eventually reward the city itself.
So "Leave to Live" is actually an equation! :) By leaving a place, after consciously deciding it and vividly desiring it, leads to living a new place, a new situation, in a neworld, with all the new goods and bads that it assumes. It is a feeling of freshness eitherway... Yes, great ideas and inspirations might come from the worst corners of the world to the most majestic spots, but each one has the freedom to follow his or her will and choose which is the place that will become heaven on earth. And time is running while we walk on our way home...!
Leave all future worries~~~~and~~~~
Leave today’s worries
Live in future storiesThese words are from the lyrics of the song Given Sundaze, and accurately reflect the essence of today's blog. It is an issue that haunts my thoughts and wants for the many months...
