You Start Dying Slowly...

You start dying slowly
If you do not travel,
If you do not listen to the sound of life,
If you do not appreciate yourself.

You start dying slowly
When you kill your self-esteem,
When you do not let others help you.

You start dying slowly
If you become a slave of your habits,
Walking everyday on the same paths,
If you do not change your routine,
If you do not wear different colors,
Or you do not speak to those you don't know.

You start dying slowly
If you avoid to feel passion
And their turbulent emotions;
Those which make your eyes glisten
And your heart beat fast.

You start dying slowly
If you do not change your life when you are not satisfied with your job, or with your love,
If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain,
If you do not go after a dream,
If you do not allow yourself,
At least once in your lifetime
To run away from sensible advice.

Start living today!

Run risks today!

Do something today!

Do not allow yourself to start dying slowly...

Do not forget to be happy!


*I got this from my father once upon a time. I love the messages, so I kept it in my mobile phone so I could re-read it again and remind myself. I thought it'd be nice to share it with everyone too. =)
