Even though we all have the same length of life, the amount of information and content can be dramatically different. To live a great life is to enrich our content, expand our circle and dare to go after our coveted prize.
Ernest Hemingway lived for only 61 years, yet he had such a rich life. He lived in Paris, Spain, and Cuba, and he actively participated in two World Wars. He went through 4 marriages (not necessarily a good thing). He flourished and created more masterpieces. He has lived a real life.
The same thing can be said about Da Vinci, who worked out so many design and scientific drawings. He has investigated every aspect of nature. Even though he lived for only 67 years, he has well lived his life.
To embrace life is to experience all we can and to do all we can. Our life is so much richer when we put our heart and whole effort into things we believe in. It means dedicating ourselves and disciplining ourselves to stay with a project and get it done successfully. It means creating stellar performance with all the resources we have. It means taking risk and embracing the potential consequences.
Life is messy. There is risk for everything we try. Even though a marriage can disintegrate, a business relationship can become sour, or a family member may leave us, we still fully embrace all of these adventures of life. As a biological being, each of us may die in the end, but we still live life to the full extent. For the heartache we will experience, we still fully embrace joy and love at this moment. That’s because joy and love is the highest calling of nature. In ecstasy, we create life and leave our legacy behind.
As our energy declines, we will depart from this world. But the ultimate triumph of life is experiencing our highest joy at every moment in life.
Embracing life is being the best we can be, and do the best we can do. We approach, acquire and fully embrace our treasured goal. We dive into things we love and give it all.
