why pura vida?


I chose 'pura vida' as my blog title because it defines how I want, and try to live my life :) I absolutely love the meaning behind it and here is why...

Pura Vida is a special outlook on life. It is a philosophy that states that happiness is found in the simple things, in the manner in which one perceives life, how one relates to the world and values the details on a day-to-day basis. The pura vida citizen will always first take care of having enough time to dedicate to the family and to the enjoyment of life. They will make sure to side step stress and evade suffering for things that are not worth suffering for. They will not worry about problems that have no solution. ~unknown~

Pura vida literally means, Pura = pure, and vida = life, but "Pure life" in Spanish would be "Vida pura" instead. So, the real meaning is closer to "plenty of life", "full of life", "this is living!", "going great", "real living", or "cool!" ~wikipedia~
