When Do You Feel Enough with Your Life?
There is a lot of want. I always have it almost every day. It seems like there is no limit. There is not enough word in my mind. After I finish the first want, I move to the second want, and on and on.
Sometimes I asked, “Do I need this? Should I achieve this?”
I then realize that my wants do not stop adding. It increases as long as I live, so I want to maintain it. I have to choose the essentials of it that relate to my need.
Another question appears, “What does enough mean to me?” I think a lot about this question. It forces me to think harder about my entire life.
My current answer might be: I feel enough when my main priority is safe until the end of my life when I can eat healthy food, wear comfortable clothes, sleep in a cozy minimalist house, and live with my loved ones.
I did not mention fancy things.
Yap, I think I want it, but I do not need it. It can fulfill my desire but not my long life. The quality of fancy things will decrease.
So, what things will not decrease then?
The time.
I suggest focusing on how to use our time instead.
Now, I will talk about the essential things before the end of life. It might be different between you and me. But there is always something in common. It is our main priority. It could be breathing, eating, loving, and living well.
Breathing
Breathing is about our health and our lifestyle. We have to take control of our breath. I mean your body and the organ inside your body. Your body is the first house. Keep your first house as good as possible. Play a healthy lifestyle.
Eating
Eating is the next essential thing. Imagine your body is a machine, and eating is gasoline charging. When you use good gasoline, it will work well. Eat healthy food to keep up your health.
Loving
Loving is what we need. We want to give love and to be loved. Without love, we would feel hopeless and empty. The love is to God, to family, to yourself. Surround your life with love so that you can love your precious life.
Living well
The next one is living well. Living here means how we spend our time, money, and energy. We have to spend our time and money on good things. And we have to use our mental energy effectively, especially for introverted people, because it matters.
If you can feel good enough about those things, you will be one step closer to the secret of gratefulness. I think it works well when we can feel enough with what we have and when we can breathe, eat, love, and live well.
I still do those things in my life. I set a healthy lifestyle. Eat some organic foods. Get and give love to my family, and live better.
The question is: am I happy with my life today?
Yes, I am happy. I always try to feel it cause happiness is a process, not a destination.
People say that good things take time to come.
I want to add the quote: good things take time to come. But you can use your time to produce good things every day.
When do you feel enough with your life?
