Make Your Life Alive!

Make the plans.
Take the steps.
Remember your dreams.
Live your passion.
Give yourself to yourself.
Dedicate your heart to being kind and happy.
Have your "time off" be the time you have to spend on things that don't matter in the long run. Spend your life creating, not destroying. And LOVE WHAT YOU DO!
Be proud of what you do.
When someone asks you what you do for a living, be one of the few who truly enjoys telling them. And who can say, when it all comes to a close, that you genuinely lived.
Be you.
Wear what you want. Express yourself openly.
Don't be afraid of how others may see you, those negative looks are fraught with jealousy and misunderstanding. Those who cannot release and be who they truly are see those who can as a threat.
Make eye contact.
Truly pay attention.
Look into each other's eyes.
Really look.
When you're together be together. Don't allow the inconsequential to distract from the important.
Give.
Give kindness.
Give love.
Smile at strangers.
Donate to causes.
Go on the trips you've "been planning" for years.
Reach out to friends.
Keep in touch with your family. If they don't call, don't hold it against them, be the one to dial the phone.
Be the one with the courage to ask how they are doing. And if they start to really tell you, you really listen.
Talk to one another. Learn about those people you've known for decades. You'll realize that even those you think you know the best can still surprise you.
Truly listen to them. And when it comes to gift-giving, give from your heart. Give from sentimentality and need, not frivolity and want.
Go outside.
Sit in the grass.
Dig your fingers into the Earth.
Laugh back at birds.
Pick up bugs.
Be gentle.
Be quiet.
Be the you you've always dreamed of being. And don't let your passions, your dreams, your goals, become something written in a notebook gathering dust.
Don't be afraid to take chances.
Don't be afraid to change your life.
It's never too late to become what you know in your heart that you're meant to be.
