Joie de vive...translates to joy of living. In the short time that we are allocated our place in history,I find that most of us are mere spectators. We let others live for us or in some cases we live our hopes and dreams through others. This article will hopefully help us all to reflect upon how we live our lives, and how we can live it to the fullest.
First we must accept our mortality, God gave us all a small window of opportunity to be in this world. In defining that time frame we have to realistically put a game plan together as to what we want to accomplish in our lifetimes.
Our genetic makeup are as such that some of us are more gifted in certain endeavors. Finding our natural gifts and nurturing them is a second criteria.Not all of us can be a Michael Jordan, but then Michael Jordan cannot be a Weng Weng either.Hence, we must accept our "gifts". In acceptance lies tolerance which therefore allows us to have a live and let live attitude.
Finally, this concept of live and let live allows us accept others for what they are as oppose to what we expect . In doing so, we can focus on the joy of living rather than just the mere existence of living. Ahhh...Joie de vive.
