When Life Is Best Lived
WHO wants to be a child [again]? With alacrity, I'll raise both my hands on one condition, that is, if our sole intent is to live a FULL LIFE. BUT hold on, let's think about it. HOW come almost children seem cheerful and happy, even those WHO have less in life? That's exactly the point I want to drive at. By default, children DON'T have hidden agenda. They DON'T double-speak. They DON'T plan to do things in bad faith. In short, they have the purest of intentions. It's kind of saying, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. Not for us adults though. We are tougher and toughest to fathom. Even for someone giving bread to the under-privileged, you CAN'T be sure if that's in good faith. So, WHEN IS LIFE BEST LIVEDπππ
Unfortunately, there is NO single right OR wrong way to LIVE A GOOD LIFE as long as it's true to you and conversely, you are true to it as well. BUT by and large, to simplify a picture, generally, having LOVING relationships, having MEANINGFUL work, enjoying time for hobbies, and being HEALTHY, these are the key variables that will kind of lead us to that 'paved' road towards having a LIFE BEST LIVEDπππ
On top of those very basic variables in life, some people find happiness in helping others WHILE others find it in pursuing their own passions. Some people find fulfillment in family and relationships WHILE others find it in their work. Without all the gobbledygook, LIVING LIFE to the fullest means experiencing the full range of good and bad. And that's WHAT gives our life that meaning and purpose. And WHEN you look back on your life, you want to be able to say that you lived it to the fullest, NOT leaving a single stone unturnedπ₯π₯π₯
Hey, HOW often we heard 'LIVE IN THE MOMENT'? Could be a zillion times, right? Thing is, LIVING IN THE MOMENT may be more difficult than it appears. Humans spend the majority of their time dwelling on the past OR future because of our own conditioning. Learning HOW to LIVE IN THE MOMENT can improve our general well-being and enjoyment in life. We can practice mindfulness by looking around OR stopping to 'smell the flowers'. By taking a moment to breathe in your current reality, you can fully immerse yourself in it and take notice of things that you may miss outπππ
Our takeaway: Looking back, I think I'm 'spot on' in pinning a key root cause as to WHY many of us DON'T LIVE IN THE MOMENT and that's multitasking. Although it may appear to be a simple process, multitasking is really difficult to master. During the day, juggling many things and diverting your attention to numerous distractions simultaneously will, obviously, prevent you from being FULLY PRESENT. So, WHEN IS LIFE BEST LIVED?
