Let’s talk about something so obvious, so fundamental, that we’ve forgotten it entirely. You’re alive. Right now. Breathing. Feeling. Existing.
But here’s the question: Are you living? Or are you so caught up in the noise of your mind that you’re missing the music of life?
Tragedy of Freedom
Here’s the paradox: You’re free. Free to think, free to feel, free to be whoever you want to be in this very moment. But instead of celebrating this freedom, you’re suffering it.
Think about it. A bird doesn’t stress about its next meal. A tree doesn’t agonize over its next branch. They simply are. But you? You’re drowning in the ocean of possibilities. Should I do this? Should I be that? What if I fail? What if I’m not enough?
This isn’t bondage. This is freedom. And it’s terrifying.
But here’s the truth: Your life isn’t a tragedy because of what’s happening—or not happening. It’s a tragedy because you’re missing it.
The Sun Rises, But Do You See It?
The sun rises every morning. The air fills your lungs with every breath. Your heart beats, your blood flows, your body hums with life. But are you aware of it?
No. You’re too busy. Busy with thoughts, emotions, and mental chatter. Busy with your psychological nonsense.
You’ve become so enamored with your own petty creations—your worries, your plans, your regrets—that you’ve forgotten the grandeur of existence itself.
The Creator’s Creation vs. Your Creation
Imagine this: Someone hands you a masterpiece—a painting, a sculpture, a symphony. What’s the greatest tribute you can pay? To write a poem about it? To give it an award? No. The greatest tribute is to experience it. To lose yourself in its beauty.
Life is the Creator’s masterpiece. And the best way to honor it isn’t to pray in temples or chant in churches. It’s to live. To taste, touch, feel, and breathe every moment.
But instead, you’re stuck in your head, building your own little world of thoughts and emotions. And while you’re busy with that, life passes you by.
The Invitation: Wake Up
So, how do you stop missing life?
- Pay Attention
The next time you breathe, feel it. The next time the sun rises, see it. The next time your heart beats, listen to it. Life isn’t happening somewhere else. It’s happening here. - Drop the Nonsense
Your thoughts and emotions aren’t reality. They’re just noise. Don’t let them drown out the music of existence. - Live Blissfully
The greatest tribute to life is to live joyfully. Not because everything is perfect, but because you’re alive. And that’s enough.
The Final Truth
Life isn’t a tragedy because of what happens—or doesn’t happen. It’s a tragedy because you’re missing it.
The sun rises, but you don’t see it. The air fills your lungs, but you don’t feel it. Your heart beats, but you don’t hear it.
Don’t let this be your story.
P.S. The next time you catch yourself lost in thought, remember: Life isn’t waiting for you to figure it out. It’s happening right now. Don’t miss it.
