You are dying slowly If you do not travel, If you do not read, If you do not listen to the sounds of life, If you donot appreciate yourself. You start dying slowly when you kill your self-esteem, When you do not let others help you. You start dying slowly if become a slave of your habits, Walking everyday on the same paths ... If you do not change your routine, If you do not wear different colors or you do not speak to those you dont know. You start dying slowly if you avoid to feel passion and its turbulent emotions, those that make your eyes glisten & your heart bear fast. You start dying slowly if you do not change your life when you are not satisfied with your job, or with your love, or with your surroundings. If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain, If you do not go after a dream, If you do not allow yourself, At least once in your life time to run away from sensible advice. ~Pablo Neruda I came across this on facebook and thought I should share. I must say these are among the best words I ever heard. Its really encouraging to make a change in my life. We all really need a change in life. We are not living a life when we are following the same pattern on everyday as a robot, its like a survival. Lets make a change. What do you think?

@aju007 I have noted down the quote.It is in a way similar to 'live dangerously' and 'when the going gets tough,the tough get going.'Isn't it?
