I’m not Living Just Existing
I’m not living just existing, you may say. Is this your summary of where you feel that you are at present? Just existing? Bored, lonely, depressed, and perhaps self-loathing? Ding – hear that inner voice awakening and saying to you that there is more to life than just existing. You have a purpose to fulfill. You have people who love you. You have those who need you to love them, to help them, to help carry their burden. Welcome to exploring the real meaning of life.
How to Start Living Instead of Existing
There is a beautiful world of sunshine and hope and laughter waiting for you to tap into and to find strength for renewal. There are others to come alongside, others with whom to learn to laugh and play once again. There are people who need your help finding food, sick children who need care, a world of beauty, and a world that needs you to contribute your gifts of mind, body, and soul to enrich. You are needed.
Life here on earth is waiting for us to explore, to enrich, and to be enriched. Don’t waste another minute of the time that we have to enjoy, to enhance, to create, to build, to invent, and to walk alongside others, as we enrich each other’s journey.
It is worth the effort – lace up your shoes and start right now with a brisk walk – outdoors or round and round in your tiny apartment – wherever you can. Feel life return. Embrace life giving oxygen with every deepening breath. Open your mind to the possibilities that follow in this article. God is knocking on the door of your heart. There is life for you. Live it!
I am Apathetic and Just Don’t Care
Apathetic means not having or showing emotion or interest – not caring one way or another – unconcerned, indifferent, unresponsive. Obviously, apathy does not enlighten our own world or brighten others’ day, nor does it seek to find solutions to problems whether they be personal, community, or worldwide. What a dull existence is that when we say I just don’t care.
How do I Start Having a Life?
There is within you the ability to improve not only yourself but your world – an idea, a smile, a unique ability, a heart longing to be loved. Living a life of apathy is depressing, boring, unattractive, and a waste of the God given gifts with which you are endowed. Oh, please, increase your deep breathing as you walk. Feel life entering your body. Open your mind and heart and listen for the nudge of God’s Holy Spirit as He gives you purpose, health, and a map to follow as you take steps out of that apathy and into ebullient living.
Put Your Faith in Jesus and Find True Life
Because of God’s great mercy, God’s grace redeems us and gives us peace. Peace is the state of mind and heart we experience when we are confident of God’s grace and mercy toward us. That assurance gives us peace. And it gives us joy. We begin an earthly relationship with Jesus and a promise of spending eternity with Him in heaven. This gives us hope in the darkness and despair.
God Loves You and Wants to Give You this Life
Accept God’s love and his presence into your life. Accept counseling by a mental health professional. Practice good health habits. Find a friend to be an advocate to help keep you motivated as you journey toward a positive and healthy mindset and take steps toward becoming an involved positive and productive individual.
The abundant life that Jesus promises us is available when we walk in tandem with our Savior. Forgiveness and mercy are ours as we seek to walk with God.
Can you get excited about this kind of living? Living with purpose? Living with joy? Living forever? All because of Jesus! That gets me out of bed each morning as I lace up my shoes and start looking for the blessings God has in store for me. How about you?
I Just Don’t Care about Anything Anymore
There is hope for you. There is hope for me. As long as you have breath, there is hope. Whatever the circumstances – the offer of hope is the greatest gift. It lifts our spirits, gives us inner joy and energy. New opportunities. Hope makes this life exciting and stimulating. As you find hope, may your statement of “I just don’t care about anything anymore” become “I do care, because someone really cares for me.”
