A lot of people just exist, they don’t live.
They have no effect, they have no desire to be better and life pass them by while they watch others go on to greater heights. They feel life is for some selected few, they allow their dreams and goals to be buried right inside them. They let opportunities slip by because of fear. They are the types that don’t matter whether they are alive or dead because they have a perpetual vacuum they are not filling so they are just “there”.
Life is about living. You need to have something to live for. You need to have a purpose to die for, you need to dream. You need to desire to soar unto greater heights. Life is not only about you but about the trails you leave behind that generations to come can benefit from.
You don’t only live for yourself, you create a better world for generations to come to see and learn from. Write your name in stones and not on sands. Be too relevant to be ignored.
I would rather live for a day and touch many lives than to live for a hundred years and not be remembered by anyone.
If your dreams don’t scare you, then it is not big enough.
Often times we are scared of taking risks. We try to play the caution game and play it safe. Risk is part of life. Risk is part of living.
Thank you for your time.

I think the people who just exist but don't live is because they don't believe in themselves.
If they have a strong belief in themselves and work accordingly, there is nothing that can stop them in achieving their goal or dream.

Yes, they have no sense of responsibility and they lack self belief. A lot of people with talent sit back and fold their arms because they are either fearful or lack the needed self belief. Life is meant to be lived.
Thanks a lot for this. I appreciate it.

This post reminds me of the try 'n hold me back by Rob Bailey and The Hustle Standard.
The thing is that we all need to believe in something. That is just who we are and there is no escaping that. I know it might be off topic but depriving people of their belief system is part of psychological warfare tactics. Our beliefs ground us and they can become our shelters during an emotional storm.
I think the stronger ones beliefs are more strength they will have in the arena of life. Our beliefs can compel us to even greater heights than we thought we could achieve. I think this becomes possible because our beliefs can draw out the power of our spirit to its full potential.

Off point? No. You nailed it perfectly. Our belief system is also part of us living and like you rightly said, there is no escaping it. Having the right belief can give us the needed strength to weather the challenges and reach our full potentials. Thanks a lot for that brother...it is deep!.

There must be something motivating you to move forward, like a seal pushing you forward through life, not just laying idle without no sense of belonging, like someone moving away from the shore of possibilities. Life itself is even a risk, we risk everything in this life. Life is a risk, all the activities we engaged in involved a risk, there is nothing we do in this life that doesn't involve risk, traveling, getting spouse, getting desirable job and making progress in life it is all about risk. In order to win your have to shake and only two outcome is possible which is whether you lose or win, I believe in this saying, money is the tool in getting more money. Making it in life require us taking step; all these steps are like sacrifice(risk) we have to make before getting to the top.

In the words of Late Dr. Myles Monroe, we must turn our existence to living. Existence is passive while living is active.
We must learn to wake up everyday with a sense of purpose. Like a lion rise with the mentality that the world is your to conquer.
Nice post @olawalium.

Wow! Love the lion part. We need to motivate ourselves from the inside and dare the impossible. Life is meant to be lived and as you have rightly put it in the words of the knowledgeable Late Myles Munroe: "Existence is passive while living is active." Love that. Thanks a lot for that brother.

Everybody has vision, everybody has goals but not all people achieved their aims. You think is nature? I don't think so
Some people loose focus easily, they get tired easily, they would be like " I can't kill myself " and that's how some people loose the focus and cross the lane.
Every goals, every desire, every dreams and every objective comes with a sacrifice. It may be your time, it may be your energy and so on like that.
Some have lost the belief, they don't have the belief about their lives and decided to do it anyhow. They have negative thinking about themselves.
And we need to have th at positive thoughts and believe in whatever you do. That alone is a drive.
Thanks for sharing @communitycoin and @olawalium
