Good living is my objective, and I am constantly on the hunt for the ingredients to this objective. What makes good living?
To date, I've learned the following:
- This is not a one-size-fits-all proposition, good living looks a little different from person to person
- There are definitely ways to promote good living for all which includes healthy food, healthy activity, positive life-enriching behavior, meeting basic needs, environmental protections, and respect for one another
So as I continue this quest, where am I headed?
People
The more we surround ourselves with good people, the better off we are. Also, as to those people who may affect our lives in negative ways--we need to strive for understanding and compassion. Sometimes our detractors help us to understand what we need to do to better ourselves and our lives. And, often when people are in tough circumstances, their pain may create more pain.
Places
Creating warm, welcoming places and spending time in life-enriching places definitely adds to good living.
Events
Engaging in life affirming events creates good living for ourselves and others.
Purposeful, positive work
The work we do also has the potential to uplift our lives. The way we do our work and the work we do can make a positive difference in our lives and the lives of others.
Self improvement
We can always strive to better who we are and what we do. This self work has the potential to keep us humble, thoughtful, and good.
There are so many ways that we can work to live good lives for ourselves and others. This is a positive direction in life. Onward.
