Reality, illusions and life
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."- Albert Einstein.
Reality truly is an illusion and that is why some persons cannot really get out of the past to reach out to the present or the future.
Being born into this world and living to take our every breath is our reality but then, when we want to live our lives above where it is, we begin our journey into illusion.
You should understand that, there is beauty in that which is not seen in the present but through our mind's eye. Reality is what we all are born into and live in.
We live as is and that is what reality is.
The definition of Reality states that "it is the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them."
When you look at what you hope to get tomorrow as your reality, you are basically living out an illusion and until it becomes your now, it will be that way.
Reality is our now and whatever we want to achieve after the now is what is defined as an improved version of our lives.
Persistence is what drives existence and for anyone starting out on their journey, they are driven by that desire to make an impact and win at all cost.
You cannot be separated from your reality and you cannot put it off until later. You have to live it as is and then, pursue the illusions that makes you wake up every morning.
