Did you live?

I felt inspired to write this in a quiet moment a few days ago. Inspired by my favorite and most magical rock in the world (Es Vedra).

One day you’ll arrive to that moment where you’ll look back
– look back on your entire life that you were gifted to spend on this beautiful planet called earth

You will know that there will only be a few moments left to experience your physical body, through the lens of the person that is YOU, beautifully you. The character you choose to play in this lifetime.

And maybe you’ll look back and think about all the people that made an imprint on your life, and all the people that you made an imprint on

You’ll look at the chances you took and the lessons you’ve learned, also the chances you didn’t take and how this might have effected your journey

All the pains and the laughter, moments filled with darkness and moments filled with light

All the cakes you ate, the hugs you received, your biggest accomplishments, moments you made someone else smile – because you helped them somehow, the moment you fell in love with a special someone, a kiss that your soul will remember in a hundred life times from now, all the moments that touched your heart deeply – and theirs too

You will think about all the people you loved dearly that already passed before you and all the wonderful humans that are dear to your heart that will miss you infinitely when you’ll be gone

You might also think about the very dark moments, times that stir up some heavy memories – but know these times made you stronger

Maybe your physical body will be in pain, maybe not – it doesn’t really matter in that moment, but what does matter are all the experiences and emotions your soul can extract from this life time, especially all the love that you felt. Did you feel the love?

What values did you have, surely they changed over time, but whatever they were – did you live them in integrity day in and day out? Did you walk your talk?

Did you cherish each day, were you grateful everyday for your body temple that took care of you since the moment it developed, like a miracle, in the womb of your mother – your heart beating for you every second of your life, your liver (LIVEr) saving you endless times because you ate or drank something that was not the best choice, your lungs breathing in and out second by second without you even needing to do anything – just for your to live, not forgetting all the other magical processes that are happening inside (and outside) you every moment? That was life… you were alive! What a gift.

Did you took time to thank the people you loved, did you spent time with them, forgave them for their humanness, made them compliments when they most needed it – especially when it was difficult?

Have you been able to touch other peoples hearts but before all else got in touch with your own heart – especially when it was difficult?

Did you believe in something greater than yourself, did you follow that nudge, that little wise voice inside you – your soul – that was guiding your way, even if you thought it wasn’t or you weren’t sure if it was – and especially when you were in uncertain situations?

Did you jump over your shadow to take the leap, make that one change in your life that made all the difference, had the courage to finally quit with something you knew was long overdue – especially when it felt most difficult?

Did you stand for what is right – for love and peace, for your freedom, for your dreams – especially when no one else did?

Did you look around you in awe about all the magic, all the life that you are surrounded by – all the people with their different stories and little worlds they live in, and oh, not to forget nature that never ceased to stop guiding you home – especially in moments of stress and busyness?

Did you express your Authentic Self? Your talents, visions and gifts that only you were to bring into the world – especially when you thought “it’s not the right time yet”?

And did you show yourself vulnerably in your relationship with yourself and others? Did you forgive yourself for things that lied heavy on your heart?
And, my friend, did you love? I mean… really, really love from the depth of your heart – yes, especially when love was the most difficult and bravest choice?

This moment will come. Death will come. One day. Maybe today, maybe in a few decades. We don’t know. But knowing this moment will arrive, being aware of that, can deeply motivate us to live our best life, to step into our authentic self, Iive from the heart and leave a positive imprint on this planet through all the love we share.

Always remember, not in a million years, somewhere in this vast Universe, will there ever be a person that is just like you – with your story that is beautiful with all its ups and downs, with your smile, your likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses – you will only have this moment, nothing else, to make the most of it.

I hope you do. No matter where you are in your journey. No matter where you are emotionally now. Because this is why you are here – to make the most out of this very moment. Just by being you. I’m sending you so much love. 💫❤💫
