live well

This 911’s is what drives me and my busness. I buy 911’s & 930’s coast to coast. It is my passion and work.

Yesterday I got the news that one of my classmate died of leucemie on the eve of Chinese New Year, he is only 22 years old, he used to be our neighbour, his grandmother are friend of my grandmother, so I told this to my grandmother, my grandmother have apoplexy and can’t work now, she is now like a child. She said my classmate was such a young guy, what a waste, and then she said we should value our lives.

i want to get fit and eat right

It’s hard. But, my life has been rather rubbish this year. So there have been a few setbacks in my happiness. I’m not quite sure what to do.

I am working on an imagination or dream board of what my well-lived life looks like. Lots of yoga and salad and the cat. Still missing some elements, but it’s kinda cool hunting through magazines for what resonates.

I have found that in order to live well you must consistently set and achieve goals. But you can’t just set goals in a random sense, you need structure. You have to look at all of the aspects of your life and make sure that you are working on all of them consistently. If not you will become unbalanced and unhappy. For example, I am always struggling to lose weight. If that is all I focus on, I can do it, but I find that I end up unhappy because I neglect my family and friends to workout and eat right. I need to be aware of all aspects of my life and be working on them all in order to maintain happiness and balance.
I really like this site (43Things) because it makes you put our goals out there in public, but I don’t like the fact that it is so unstructured. There is another site that I use lifesroadmap.com (although the bummer is that you have to pay for that one) that allows you to set goals and get reminders, but it gives you a structure to work in to make sure that you are always in balance. It also comes with a decent book.
Anyway the point is that no matter what your goals are, make sure that you are living in balance, being too lopsided makes you unhappy, no matter how good you are at your lopsided focus. I hope this helps someone.

so, for quite a while now i’ve been wanting to live well. then, just recently, i found this site and started making lists and naming things. today, i bought a ticket to india and will be spending time in a retreat doing yoga, eating organic food and meditating. yes, it is true. and hopefully this will get me a little closer to what i imagine as living well.

Like a lot of things on my list, the idea of wanting to ‘live well’ is rather vague. How can I achieve this goal if I don’t even know what it looks like? So I thought about this and, to me, living well means something like being healthy, which is also rather vague and relative. So these are some more specific goals for me: eat nutritious food, do yoga EVERY DAY, go for a walk EVERY DAY and abstain from substances that pollute the mind (which has been one of my weaker points). What is proof of me living well? I have a clear mind, rosy cheeks, and feel energetic and positive. Inspired. Happy. Full. Content.

So, I’m going to get off the computer and go for a long walk in the sunshine—after I do some yoga.

it is my little mantra that, as i just mentioned in a comment to Myself, helps me through the rough spots.

for me, it came out the concept that ‘living well is the best revenge’ when feeling totally used.

through all the stages of grief, through anger, hate, sadness, that kind of sad that’s worse than sadness, i repeated it. so often, sometimes, in one sitting, that i can’t even begin to imagine how many times i might have said it. live well. live well. live well. live well.

the worst times were when i felt nothing at all. just an shell. or more accurately, like a tube. a vessel where feeling could only pass through, but could never contain anything.

so i really need to consider what living well really means. what is a life lived well?
