IF YOU DIE NOW, HAVE YOU TRULY LIVED?
IF YOU DIE NOW, HAVE YOU TRULY LIVED?
Let’s talk
about death – did you know that if I die now, my death is not a tragedy; it is
a glorious exit?
If I die
now, without a child, a house, a car, a wife or anything of my own, just below
30 and I say I have had a life well lived. What then does it mean to only
exist?
The only
person who existed, but never lived, is one who refuses do what God has laid on
his mind to do, either as a result of fear of what people might think, do, or
say or as a result of inability to manage his emotions and ego.
Yesterday,
after I posted something about fake love, a lady friend of mine called my
attention to the fact that it was not fitting for what she saw as my
reputation, as it made me appear very needy to people.
Here is my
response: “a lot of people can think
what they want – I do what I do because I should. I totally forget what people
think. I think it is a reason why people say I am proud. Two, I believe my
reputation is what I call it, not what they call it. So I can do what I want to
do, not what they feel I should do.”
The above
response is worth reading again, again and again; it contains a clue which differentiates
those who truly live from those that only exist.
A few years
ago, I wrote: “you cannot always like the writer that I am, because I can write
what you like today and write what you hate tomorrow.” My reason is clear.
I did not
start writing because I wanted love, I started writing because I had a leading
to write and it does not matter what you feel about what I write – you won’t
change anything. I write, and on any topic at all, because I am led to.
I say again,
that if I die now, without or without money, I have lived, not only exist – I am
not a failure.
Failures, as
far as I can tell, are people who do not attempt to do what God placed in their
minds in form of an impulse of desire. Those are the people that only exist
without living – probably because they always want to make sense to people and
fit into their definition of reputation.
When I said I
am a god, majority of people of little mind, low and lack of self-esteem,
ignorantly felt it was an attempt to
place myself above everyone, thus they felt threatened and resorted to
magnifying what they see as my errors, just to prove that I am not above them –
a god. What a shame.
Being a god
is never an attempt to place myself above anyone. It is only to enable me understand more and
live in consciousness of God; a vital part of which is knowing that I should do
whatever God tells me to do, without the fear of what people will think do or
say, because God will do whatever he wants to do, regardless of how people feel
about it.
Living a god
is hard, people envy it, but do not know, or can withstand what it entails. It
requires you do those things that mere humans, controlled by their emotions and
egos, will not do. Part of which is forgiving, doing what is necessary in spite
of hatred and persecution, giving love and never getting in return, doing good
never stopping, because you are not appreciated and most importantly, doing
what God places in your mind to do against all odds – these are what it takes
to truly live.
Now ask
yourself, have you been living or just existing?
Money and
fame are of little importance in this. I can say I have truly lived, because I have
spent most of my life, constantly trying to do what God has placed in my mind
to do, even when they bring me hostile reactions and hatred in place of love. It is never about riches or fame, both of
which I do not have.
That is all
that is required of me and everyone that wishes to truly live: to attempt, and
never stop trying to do what God has placed in their minds to do. It does not
matter when death comes, just attempt. If God wants you to do them, nothing
will take your life until you do them.
Do you have constant
internal conviction to help a particular person, but you have always shut it
down?
What would
you have been doing, that you know is right, if only you won’t be criticized
and treated with disdain?
Who is God
telling you to support his vision, but you are still skeptical?
Not everyone
is given a vision, some are only to support others, and if they don’t do so,
they would only have existed, not live.
What would
you have been doing, that which God tells you to do, if only it won’t affect
your reputation?
If you cannot
do all of these, you will never truly live.
I have just
done my own part by writing this, your path maybe just to share – do your part.
