Sitting around in my apartment the other day, a question came flying into my head..." What do I live for?" Frankly speaking, I had no answer to that question...
Surfing the internet today, I found a video about a survey that was made with people being asked what do they live for. It was not a surprise to see that the majority were living for their family, daughter, son, mother.
It sounded right at first, but after a while it didn't..." Why isn't anyone living for himself?"It's our life, right? We should live for us...even though it sounds selfish and self-centered. But think!!! If one lives for him, that implies a happy family, happy friends and happy self, right?
You live for you. You make everything that is in your power to make your family happy, because thanks to them, you are able to go back home every day knowing that someone is there to welcome you with a smile and a warm hug.
You live for you, to be able to see your friends accomplished and happy. Cracking jokes, remembering the old times, having a round of laughs just for detaching from the daily life.
This is the advantage of living for you. You get to think a little about yourself, your health, your well being , because it's the only way to see others happy and to live for them as well. I live to see my mother smile, to see my friends being happy and acting all naturally crazy but I also live for me, I keep myself healthy and happy because I know this is the only way to be there, living for my family and friends as well. And seeing them happy or seeing my mother smile, well that's when I feel like I actually live for something and I'm not just an oxygen consumer.
As a mother lives for her child, a son or daughter lives for his or her parents. We live for someone else, we live for adrenaline, for music, for the fresh air of each morning. We put a little of ourselves in others; in order to live for them but we should keep something from us for ourselves. Always.
So, what do you live for?
