How to to live instead of exist
How I did it: In my case i had to lose everything to realise my life had become a mere existance.
I lost my Nan and suffered badly, i got depressed and when i asked for help all the friends i thought were my "best" friends, the one's who i thought would always be there for me avoided me.
All except one, someone i never truly noticed or appreciated.
So i started moping and existing until she made me look at my life, i realised i was wasting my life by doing sod all with it. I'd given up on all my hopes and dreams years ago and had settled for nothing.
It's taken most of this year but finally i'm getting out there and doing the things i want. I don't just dream any more, i do.
I've wasted too many years of my life, i'm not going to do it again.
I now have one best friend who i trust completely, i'm more comfortable around my family, i have a dog! I'm looking into college courses etc this september and i'm working towards my long term dream of working with animals.
Good luck to everyone else.
Lessons & tips:
- Use this site to your advantage, putting your goals in front of you really does help you get started.
- If you want to do something... do it.
- Don't let yourself stand in your way, putting things off till tomorrow usually means you'll never do it. You never know, tomorrow might never come.
- Good Luck.

Alive
I heard Nando Parrado speak last week (hero of the film Alive) and put my reflections here (http://www.conorneill.com/2009/10/reflections-on-nando-parrado-real-hero.html ). His talk was powerful. What matters? Family and friends. Good luck with your journey.
