Images Inspire

Greeting!
 I would like to mention a websites that provide inspiration for me on a daily basis. Pintrest! Essentially it is a pin board style photo sharing website that allows members to share theme based collections.  There are various categories you can browse through, filled with an abundance of really cool photos. I look through them all the time, and I have to warn you Pintrest is addicting! Like many other social / photo sharing websites, you can spend hours on there so be careful! Lately I've been using some of the photos for a project I've been working on. I take one of my life list wishes and then write it (in text) on a picture that portrays what it is I want to do. I realize this may sound a little confusing and pointless but it's actually very neat and inspiring. I have two demonstrations below.

I will post more examples in the future. I also like the idea of taking a picture of accomplishing something on your life list and then writing the number with a check or something on the picture. I will have to try it soon!

Alright so if you're interested go check out Pintrest, its amazing! And if you have time, like myself, (or just if you feel like) and create your own life list pictures!

Greetings! I would like to introduce to you, one inspiration that lead me to my recent "Live life to the fullest" epiphany. You may or may not be familiar with a TV show called The Buried Life. Essentially its about four boys who have comprised a list of all the crazy things they want to do before they die and them completing them. In each episode they would attempt to complete one of their Life List items, and also assist someone complete something they wanted to do before they died. There philosphy is simply if there's something you want to do, however crazy or out there it may seem, do it. If you succeed great, if you don't at least you tried. I really like how the emphasize the benefits and importance of taking risks. Unfortunately there show was discontinued after two seasons, however they are still perusing the completion of there bucket list. If you're interested they have a website: http://theburiedlife.com. Its chalk full of videos, pictures, there list and other fun stuff. They also have have a Facebook page from which I got my "Not All Those Who Wonder Are Lost" picture off of.  I really like the inspiring / neat / thought provoking pictures and quotes that they post. I plan to include some of them in my future posts!
If you are in need of more inspiration to live courageously, or just want see what they are all about, I encourage you to go check them out!

Yours, Emma

Food For Thought

 

I just thought I'd post this because I think this is just such a wonderful truth! I think often society suppresses the whole idea of straying from the normal track or living a little differently, when there is nothing wrong that! As a matter of fact is amazing and admirable! Its okay not to have a plan in life. Wandering and exploring is a route in itself, and it will take you on a journey like no other. Happy Monday everyone!

Live: (insert definition)

Welcome to Live, don't just exist! In this blog it is my hope to inspire people, young and old, to stop, evaluate their lifestyle, and think about the things they truly want to do in their life, and start doing them! This does not entail you dropping your life, and traveling around the world-however that doesn't sound like a half bad idea-but, rather stepping outside of your routine lifestyle. You can start by simply exercising your comfort zone. By this I mean changing things up, exploring new activities, getting out more, and being adventurous in your decisions.  It is always helpful to begin comprising a list, a bucket list. Write down all those things that you've told yourself "I'll do someday", whether they are small hopes or grand dreams, and begin chipping away at them. The ultimate goal would be to complete some or maybe even all of them, but the main objective is to at least try.
In this blog I will post weekly with a variety of inspiring medians, and hopefully give one of you the kick you need to start the true definition of living.

Yours, Emma
