Last Monday , I had a sumptuous breakfast at the Hotel Shangrila in Mactan . My daughter and her husband stayed there all night and invited me to join them the next day.
As expected, the food was great, the atmosphere , the greater. The sort of thing Richard Branson and his class would . But the greatest pleasure is what I did after breakfast. I am immersed in the fish sanctuary .
For the sake of 20 minutes, I swam hundreds of different species of tropical fish. It was pure kaleidoscope of colors , shapes, sizes . They swam with me , around, above and below me. They are so used to people that can virtually hold in their hands .
Later, while sitting on the beach with calm blue sea in front of me and opulence around me, defended me thoughts of labeling is " live life to the fullest . " I was happy , very happy, in fact, my Monday morning, but knew it was temporary. I knew that if it was not for my daughter and her husband, who had money , I would never be able to experience this kind of momentary happiness . All this is left as soon as I drive out of the hotel .
It was nice , it was good , but I was not living life to the fullest . Live life to the fullest are the small pleasures that give your life a stable equilibrium level. No temporary episodes of joy, but of longer duration sense of serenity and tranquility. Is :
A . Appreciate the little things that come your way :
From the moment we wake up in the morning until we go to sleep at night, our world is full of little things that , if only you take the time to notice , make our hearts sing with joy.
The innocence of your child's sleep , the sweet smell of breakfast, his wife is preparing . You see small flowers bloom , bees feed on nectar and abundant hello greet a neighbor.
Many more are on the way as the day progresses , it can make you feel full of grace and happy to be alive .
Two . 'S Be realistic :
Live a full life is to you , your skills and talents to know. Set goals that are achievable with current circumstances.
It is not biting off more than you can chew , or trying to be what you are not. It takes a painful step after another towards stability and security.
Three . He left the past behind :
The past is past. You could never put the pieces of his shattered past, no matter how you try. Not "stress and blame yourself for the mistakes you made.
Instead of learning from them. There is always something to learn from their past. Things that can make you face today and better tomorrow.
April. Looking to the future :
No matter how bad your current form, do not lose heart . Do not despair. It will always be better tomorrow , a new day and a new beginning.
May Do not be obsessed with material goods :
Material things , although large , will rot and wilt .
" What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world , and lose his own soul? " - Mark 8:36
You and your happiness is far more important than all his material possessions .
6 . Be friendly :
This is not only be beautiful, but to have true friends they can trust , go places with and enjoy many things in common .
This is difficult for most. This is the easy familiarity , but no real friends .
Eleanor Mondale said: "The biggest obstacle is finding true friends really friends .. "
7 . Listen to your heart and soul :
Trust your instincts and decide where to go . This does not mean that Shun seek advice from others. But at the end of the day, what should guide your life must come from inside you.
8 . refund:
Compensation is the act of selfless service to others , community, society.
This will not only make you a better person , but also help others.
9 . Never give up :
Never accept defeat even if you look into his eyes and all options are dead ends .
You're not the only obstacles in life. Others have their obstacles too . But they managed to overcome this , too.
Have a winning mentality . More often than not, it is an attitude which separates losers from winners.
10 . Be Happy:
Live life to the fullest is, above all , be happy. Nothing in this whole wide world can make you happy . Not spend the night in an expensive and breakfast in her hotel. No diving in the middle of hundreds of exotic tropical fish. Not by winning the lottery or winning or body looks good people gawk .
Happiness or sadness is not a product of an external force , but their thoughts. Anyway , it 's just a decision you have to make.
I think everyone has the right to live life to the fullest . Not only short bursts of happiness but lasting class . I also believe that we can all achieve if we learn to see through the fluff of life and focus on things, the simple things that give meaning to the lives of over a million dollars in your account.
