ARE YOU LIVING A FULFILLED LIFE?

 


Living a fulfilling life 
seems a mocking concept for many 
these days.

Yet, it is not an impossible dream.

HOW TO START

1.) COME TO PEACE WITH THE WAY THINGS ARE


Animals in the wild endure bitter cold, injuries, and hunger without going IF ONLY

They accept life is what it is and adapt 

without the static of bemoaning that might keep them from finding another path.



2.) HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON ON LIFE TO ENJOY THE MOMENT

Not overlooking the beauty of the "mundane"world around you 

will open your eyes to countless epiphanies, enriching your life and broadening your horizons.

And you might even find a much-needed laugh.



3.) ARE YOU BECOMING A GROUCH?

Focusing on the negative a good part of the day may well be turning you into a toxic person.

Challenge yourself to look for the good in each hour, in each person you meet.

That person who is just sitting at the light turned green 

may well have received terrible news from the doctor or from a loved one.

Practice restraint and don't honk that horn.  



 4.) PRACTICE FORGIVENESS

Not just for others ... but for yourself.

You screwed up yesterday.  That just makes you human.  Today is a blank page.  

Don't smudge it with the guilt of the past.



5.) EXERCISE IS A PRIORITY NOT A "MAYBE"

Exercise, whether it be walking, running or biking, cleans out the cobwebs and tones the body.

It also releases endorphines for free.  A healthy body houses a happier spirit.



6.) STOP HANDING YOUR SELF-WORTH TO THE HANDS OF OTHERS

Those who focus on your flaws continually may do so to keep from seeing their own.

No one feels your pains, dreams your dreams, or lives your hours but you.

Each of us is composed of the very atoms first found in the hearts of stars.  

You are a sparkle of life from the heart of a sun.  You are special.  Let no one tell you otherwise.



7.) OUR FEARS ARE ALMOST ALWAYS WORSE THAN WHAT THE TRUTH IS

Hiding from our fears always magnifies them.  

Facing them gives us an idea of what to do next.



8.) CLING TO YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR

Laughter is one of the best forms of exercise.

It helps you live longer, reduces your blood pressure, and helps you enjoy your own company.

And since you are stuck with yourself  24/7, that is a good thing.

  1. The memorable highlight of my day today: a walk through the local forest, and smelling a very rich, aromatic smoke. We tried to find where it came from, and discovered it was guy who makes artists' charcoal using ancient methods of slow-burning, smoking green birch. It was an amazing scent.

    1. I envy you that walk, that discovery, and that scent. I could imagine it in my mind from your words. Thanks for that. :-)
