Do not Overlook the Pleasures of the Good Life

By Sean Flynn

Often people are so busy with whatever they are doing that they forget to appreciate the good life which they are leading right now. They take it for granted and feel that this good life will be there forever. Even when they have achieved all they wanted to and have a career which they opted for they forget to stop a minute and fell good about it.

When you have a feeling that you are fulfilled by what ever you do and are satisfied with the way life has treated you have a good life. Many would not find pleasure in even big things which come their way and may live life in a way where they miss out on seeing how their life has been quite complete, it is only perchance that they loose out on what they have to realize that they had a good life once.

If you have a week end to enjoy make the most of it and know that you have a good life. There are many who do not get time off to enjoy it with their families and wait for the day when they can just put their feet up leave alone go out and have a nice time with their people.

Similarly family is taken for granted, but remember that even they will not be with us forever. The demanding spouse may not be there and the kids will grow up and move on with their own lives. The good life that you had surrounded by them was not appreciated when they were there and now it is lost forever.

By achieving our goals we feel happy but soon forget what we have in hand and the good life we are leading to want something else and be dissatisfied with our present state of affairs. Learning to appreciate the present is really necessary to be happy in life.

Once you land a job it is not long before you are cribbing about the long hours, the horrible boss and the difficult colleagues. Those who have retired from their jobs and do not have the regular routine which they had at one time wish they were back in that period which was a good life hard work and all.

Finding pleasure in what is happening around you is appreciating your surroundings and the good life which you have. Often there are troubles which you find difficult to tolerate but friends and family rally around you to tide over this period and they make it a good life for you.

For those who are spiritually inclined a good life is one where they can join with others for spiritual fulfillment. Sometimes helping a person in need by lending them support can give more pleasure than in receiving and this would be part of a good life.

People who have someone to share their life with and who can reach out and hold the hand of their old parents and comfort them have a good life because they have been given the chance to show their parents that they care. There are many who are orphaned and have never known their parents and would love to be in the position which you are in and now and have a good life like yours.
