Is it right to live reacting to what life throws at us?

How many times have we asked ourselves at some point, do we live or do we survive?

For this it would be very convenient to reflect on the way many of us have to live in which we react to what life brings us, there may be circumstances in which it is positive to react, others in which not so much, in this post we will see everything related to this.

It is very common to think about the day to day and ask ourselves: Is this life?

Actually I think so, that this is life, that is a souvenir of good and bad moments, and that the routine of a daily life can demand a lot of energies in which we do not glimpse something more different than work and effort.

The most convenient thing is not to let ourselves be dragged or consumed by the day to day without reacting to other forms and approaches to life, because if we give continuity to what makes us bad we can falsely believe that nothing in our life can change for the better.

Reality must be assumed and lived, however it is that same reality that sometimes puts us in trouble, but we must also think that although in trouble is that same reality that makes us react to change the perception and fight to continue on the road.

But what is the use of following a path of struggle, if we are not mainly favoring, since many times that path of struggle is not what we want for our life, until we end up discovering that we are not living but surviving. Everything makes sense when we begin to associate our efforts more oriented to what we feel, no matter if we are achieving something, a goal, an achievement, it does not matter, what matters in essence is what we are feeling, if we feel free or slaves within our own body.

It is impossible to have it all in life, we have already seen how millionaires do not find true happiness and true emotional tranquility, but at least if we react to changes that involve more of an honest reading of what we feel and our own feelings, then we can orient our goals towards things we really want.

Because if our goals and objectives are filled with having more and more, then we will never achieve a proper reading of what we want for ourselves, especially based on our feelings.

It is something as simple as creating a dialogue with ourselves, to be able to be honest with ourselves, to tell us the reality that we want for ourselves and how we really feel.
