If you can watch the movie, Peaceful Warrior (2006) with Nick Nolte, you see this illustrated. It is the opposite of sleepwalking through life. It is about participating in your life as if every day was a chance to make some profound discovery or to make a difference for those around you. It is finding the path that makes you excited to be alive. It is to appreciate and care for the amazing vehicle you have to explore this reality and to live in such a way as to be in great health. It is about impeccable energy management. It is expressing vitality in your own unique way. It is creating an inner fountain of youth. It is taking responsibility for your attitude and mindset in the proactively uplifting direction versus apathy, depression and selling out. It is managing yourself so that at the end of your life you have no regrets because you challenged yourself and did the best you could. I could write a book. I hope this helps.
