I'm thinking about ways to living my best possible life--these are some avenues, I believe will help me get there.
Imagine
To live well, we first have to be willing to imagine what it is that we want. Making time to dream, and then detailing those dreams specifically with regard to who you want to be, where you want to live, what you want to have, and the people you want to surround yourself with will help you to achieve those dreams. If we don't take time to imagine what we want, it will be very difficult to better your life.
Learn
Once you have an idea about who you want to be, learn how to get there. For example, right now I'm trying to become a healthier person. I'm reading all about that and learning lots of new lifeways to achieve this goal. Though my progress is slow, the more I learn and update my lifeways, the more satisfied I am. No matter, what it is that you want to be, your journey will be greatly helped by learning all about that via reading, research and expert help.
Take chances
Too many people are unhappy because they stay stuck in troubling situations. Sometimes we can't change some aspects of a troubling situation because it will upset other aspects of our lives, but while we endure those aspects of life, we can also be working to change or update other parts of our lives. For example, I've weathered hard work from time to time in order to sustain and build other parts of my life. If you're unhappy with your life, you will have to take chances in order to make change. If you don't have enough good people in your life, you may need to branch out using your interests as a guide and then you'll meet new people. If we're unsatisfied with the work we do, we may need to learn new skills and try out new jobs. And if there's a singular problem or challenge that gnaws at us, we may have to find the expert help to remedy that challenge or, if needed, learn to live with it.
Build your life
Unhappiness can also occur if we are trying to live someone else's life. All of our lives are different and unique, and the best path to happiness is to live your own life--find out what makes you tick, and then live that life. Looking over our shoulders all the time to see what others have or are doing will certainly obstruct a path to good living. Instead reach for your dreams, find your people, and live your life.
As I outline life's next chapter, I'll use these strategies--let's see where that takes me. Onward.
