Existence vs. Living

What is the real difference between people who appear happy, fun-loving, carefree and the rest of the world? Most of the world is simply existing, going through the motions. Most people tend to wait for the future to be happy or spend all of their time focusing their energy on creating or working towards what they think will bring them happiness for their future. The problem with this philosophy is that "the future" NEVER gets here. It is always one day away and always will be. If we are constantly waiting for the future in order to be happy, to love our lives- we will never achieve this. The time to live is NOW! If we are constantly living our lives for other people or for what will come, we never have anything from within ourselves to give to those we care most about in our lives. It is impossible to give what you don't have and it is my guess that we are hoping and wanting to give happiness, love, and joy to others. Not pain, frustration, dissatisfaction, anger, aggression. If we live and truly live our lives to the fullest, don't settle for mediocrity, then we can pass those great things on to others. Everything we put into the lives of others will come back into our own three fold is the belief of many and this also follows the Law of Attraction. The more positive we experience ourselves, the more we can give to others and put out into the universe, and then the more that we will be drawing back into our own. What an amazing and beautiful circle we can make our lives into. The inverse is also true though and therefore all of the negative we experience, we put out there for others, and duly draw back into ourselves. What do you want in your life? What do you want in the lives of those you love and care about? What you want most is what you need to put into the lives of others and not wait for them to put it into yours. Live your life, don't just exist!
