For the past several months I have been trying to help myself. I have been trying to fight this desire to give up, I have been trying to find reasons to live. I have sat here and cut out atleast 100 motivational quotations and posted them all around me. I have tried eating healthier, exercising, listening to the news (because I have realized that there’s something bigger than self).

Of all the articles/self-help/motivational sites I have come across, I think your article sums it up best. It’s the desire to live. If you don’t have that, everything goes downhill (including your health).

But how do you acquire that will to live? What if it has slowly been creeping out of you for the last several years and then a recent event in your life was like the last straw – the one where your world came crumbling down? What if every day since that event, your mind has been a battlefield between the will to survive and the tensions of your soul?

What if you have realized that you’ve wasted so many years of your life by keeping yourself sheltered. BY NOT staying involved and curious about life. ’sexyme’ is right … there are stages in life. But what if you didn’t successfully make it past that first stage … where you move about on your own free-will? It’s the stage of exploration. But what if you didn’t have that freedom … what if you were suppressed?

How do you go about discovering yourself? If you don’t know who you are, and what you want, how do you know where you want to go in life? How do you have a will to survive if you do not know where you want to go because you cannot express free-will?

How do you get out of this mess?

Ruby Great Article ! I have seen this in my own family. A Few years ago my mother got very sick at the same time I became pregnant for my daughter. The night I gave birth my mothers health seemed to start getting better. That was the first day she was able to keep food down and move around with out feeling deathly sick. I have always said happyness is a state of mind and worry is a waste of time that changes nothing. A+ article keep up the good work!

We all have three stages in life
The first stage is
When we all move about
On our own Free- Will
The second stage makes us
Move with our Will power
And the third stage
Depends on the Will
We are able to write.
