Have a good weekend everyone. In response to the Weekend Experiences topic 170 by , I have here my post regarding Topic number one which is about what would I say the three most important elements to living my best life. I thank you Mr.
for this wonderful topic that will allow us to look for and examine the life that we also have now, and evaluate if we are already living our best life.
So, here are the most important elements that I must consider in living my best life. These aspects can unlock the potential for a more purposeful and satisfying life.
1.A Positive Mind and a Seek for Knowledge
Life could be a great disaster if we live and act according to what we feel and think. Not all the times that we feel great and we feel the beautiful life. There were also experiences in which we felt the worst scenario. There were also times were we thought very negatively because it was what we felt. But for me, Those negative thoughts and feelings can be diverted into positive ones.
Last Friday, my motorcycle had a problem with its side engine where the clutch lining got damaged since its odometer covered 84,000 kilometers and it was just the day that it came with a problem. I am not an engine mechanic, but my passion led me to buy tools for engine repair.
Yes! I am a teacher by profession, but I also have a passion for being a mechanic. The negative part is that I have to spend money for my motorcycle repair which I need to pay labor for mechanic, and I thought that it could be a problem since it is additional finances. I thought of a way where I could spend less money, so I decided to explore new learnings and that is by doing it with my own hands. Courage to do so is much required. I searched on the internet for how to repair the clutch lining in my motorcycle.
Saturday morning, I woke up early and did my planned task and that was doing my motorcycle clutch lining repair. I felt nervous, but my eagerness to learn new things led the way to doing the task perfectly. I am happy and satisfied with the result. I did it perfectly. Now I cannot pay a mechanic anymore because I can do it now on my own.
2. Living a Simple Yet Healthy Lifestyle
We must take into account our lifestyle. Living a simple life with a healthy body, mind, and soul is also one of the elements of living the best life. Material wealth such as money is good, but for me, even a simple life is enough. As long as I and my family are healthy, and we have the things necessary for living, we are in the best life. Human wants are unlimited, but life only requires what's necessary for living which are our basic needs.
Before my task of repairing my motorcycle, we had our breakfast meal. I manage all the kitchen chores every weekend before doing my other tasks. I prepared our breakfast with vegetables and rice. Our viand is a "Utan Bisaya"(our term for vegetable braise). It is very nutritious.
After our breakfast, we drink fresh coconut juice taken from my dwarf coconut tree in the front yard of my house. It is very healthy for the kidney to drink fresh coconut water every morning.
I am also cultivating the soil in my small backyard garden so that vegetables can grow faster. It is essential to cultivate the soil so that the plants may directly absorb nutrients from the soil.
3. Strong Family Bond
Last but not least, creating a strong bond/relationship with the family is also a vital element of living the best life. Human beings are social creatures, and our connection with others, especially family members significantly impacts our overall well-being. We need to be surrounded by individuals who inspire, motivate, and support us. We need to cultivate deep, meaningful relationships with trust, love, and mutual growth as it is form the foundation.
Yesterday afternoon, my family decided to enjoy sea bathing at Nailon Beach. My daughter loves to have sea bathing. She enjoys the seawater. When we got there, the sea was calm and the water was low. My daughter and my wife enjoy so much in the beach. Every weekend, I always spend the best time with my family because it is my only wealth in this life. I always show them how grateful I am that they came into my life.
Living the best life is an ongoing journey. We need to understand and evaluate our lives in the process of committing to the ideal life we want to be. No one in this world wants to live miserably. We all want the best life, but we have different ways to take it. For me, these three most vital elements will be my way to living a truly extraordinary life.
Thank you everyone for reading and have a blessed and fruitful day.
Let's take a path to our best life!
