How To Be Really Alive

When I first started college, I was very into ~finding myself~. I took a lot of walks, sketched a lot of pictures, did a lot of people watching...

One of the books I came across that I found to be so interesting was 'A Creative Companion' by SARK.

Many stories from the book I found inspiring, but the following is something that has stuck with me through the years:

How To Be Really Alive

Live Juicy.Stamp out conformity.
Stay in bed all day.Dream of gypsy
Wagons.Find snails making love.
Develop an astounding appetite for books.
Drink sunsets.Draw out your feelings.
Amaze yourself.Be ridiculous.Stop
Worrying.Now.If not now, then when?
Make yes your favorite word.Marry
Yourself.Dry your clothes in the sun.
Eat mangoes naked.Keep toys in the
Bathtub.Spin yourself dizzy.Hang
Upside down.Follow a child.Celebrate
An old person.Send a love letter to yourself.
Be advanced.Try endearing.Invent
New ways to love.Transform negatives.
Delight someone.Wear pajamas to a
Drive in movie.Allow yourself to feel
Rich without money.Be who you truly
Are and the money will follow.Believe
In everything.You are always on
Your way to a miracle.

~The Miracle is You~
