I was reading some interesting articles based on lifestyle and life. What really struck me was the understanding (or lack there of) life. When you ask yourself are you living a fulfilling life? Many questions may come up, they did for me.
So i started reading more. I found a profound statement:
"A Great Life is Attractive; a Lifestyle is Usually Seductive" ~
So i have to ask do we know the distinctions: attraction vs. seduction?
Here are some great finds from statements made by Thomas Leonard.
A life is based on YOU. A lifestyle is based on externals.
To be fulfilled is to radiate your positive feeling consistently. To be gratified is to consume experiences, resources, or people.
Finally there is one that made all the clarity to me, and an enlightening statement that i shall carry with me until i master the meaning.
A fulfilling life sustains YOU; you don't have to manage IT.
Don't get me wrong, i desire to live an amazing life. I do have a responsibility to myself while here to know the difference between love and lust.
Life and lifestyle can move together beautifully as long as your intention and clarity are in focus. Not letting lust be a servant, and allowing love to be abundantly open and free. A practice which will take close attention at all times.
I'll leave you with this today.
