In Costa Rica they say “Pura Vida”. Ask someone how they are and they will say that exact phrase. This expression translates in English as “Life is Pure” or “Life is everything”. Enjoying what is present is such a forgotten way of living. Why not after all, live in present time and push beyond the past? Tomorrow’s worries do not exist until that moment arrives.
If there are unknown circumstances why not embraces them. Visiting a place that is not part of our day to day ventures is sometimes unsettling but exciting. Stepping out of our comfort zones will allow us to be a part of something great. Just think about how much we miss out on when we make the decision to stay only within the things that make us comfortable.
Share some love with your neighbor, a stranger, someone who isn’t friendly to you. Be a part of someone else’s world. A small gesture will help you grasp the concept of “Pura Vida”.
