To live is not merely to exist

You must live, but really live, fully, enjoying life!
-

To live is not merely to exist,
but to exist and create,
to know how to enjoy and suffer,
and to not sleep without dreaming.

- Gregorio Marañón
(1887-1960) Spanish doctor and writer

--

There's more to life than just being alive,
a lot more than just letting the days go by,
much more than resisting and enduring...
yo have to really live,
enjoy life,
to be happy with what you have,
to dream and sleep happily,
to fight for dreams,
trying to get what you want,
taking each opportunity
and going all the way.

To live is not only to exist,
don't let the days go by
just like that...
live them, but truly live them.
