Life in jungle is the only one to live

"In the Jungle when a lion awakes he knows that he must out run the slowest gazelle or he will starve and when the gazelle awakes he knows that he must out run the fastest lion or he will be ate. no matter if your a lion or a gazelle when you wake up you must be running." I read that quote in a locker room and I never really understood it thinking that I am nether a lion or a gazelle because I don't want to just survive, I want to Thrive, but now looking back I under stand that it not about surviving its about being awake most of us go through life day in and day out the same routine never really awake to whats happening around them they aren't chasing anything or running from any thing, they are just content to exist, Ben Franklin Said "that most men die at age 25 sadly they wait until 80 to bury them" you see that's about the time we stop "giving chase to" or "running from" in its that very act that awakens us, so I ask are you are you living life in the Jungle? If non maybe its time for a perspective check. what makes you come alive and wake up? are you in a race to squeeze every last drop of the ketchup bottle that we call life or are you living a life of quiet desperation? The only way to Truly test it is When you wake up are you Running
