Feel Real Joy Of Something
I don't mean moderate enthusiasm or something fun in the usual way, but ..... I am talking about overwhelming, breaking, almost childish ..... excitement? I love that feeling when I have something new and exciting going on, so I barely have time to wake up in the morning before I think about it. I have the misfortune at the moment, that I'm unemployed and stay at home most of the day. Sometimes it's so boring, I don't know where I'm going. Maybe you recognize that feeling. Then, suddenly it turns up a new idea in your head that makes you enjoying everything. You get the energy and lust to do everything. And it's, above all, makes you very alert and happier and therefore nicer to your surroundings. Family and friends, etc. Certainly, it is a pity that so many of us come to a point in life where we stop to enjoy what's around us? I think we have too many "to do first" or "must do" all around us. We do not have time to enjoy life. Enjoying a simpler life where we take what we are offered. We don't see or feel what is already around us, it could be there just for us. It may be, that we don't want something to happened. We may not dare to do something that we have never done before. Maybe we are afraid. What will the neighbors think? What if someone comes to visit us and things are not ready! / / How boring it sounds suddenly. / / A while ago I talked to an old friend who had a family tragedy a few years ago. He has gone through some hard times, I know, but I thought he could try to enjoy what he's experiencing now. Enjoy life in front of him! He said to me: "I decided years ago that it is much safer and less painful to not be happy for anything. It's less risk to be disappointed and hurt. I have learned to just give what I have to, and expect as little as possible. It seems easier and more realistic to me." Poor man! ... Talk about being a pessimist and have a negative attitude. Joy and excitement is not something that just comes suddenly. I believe we must help to create it.If we choose to have fun, to laugh about small simple things and to really enjoy life, I think the people around us also starts to laugh and feel good. Joy catching up! Sure, there are those who always have fun and do spontaneous things all the time, to please both themselves and others. They don't do it in purpose. They just are like that. If we really enjoy what's around us, life is a lot easier. We feel better. All around us feel better. It is easier to ask for help, and to get help, if we need it. It is easier to help others, if they need it. We become healthier. Joy and laughing are healing! We begin to think about new things, be creative. We are more effective. that should delight the boss, at work. Me and my family, has for years been looking for a house that we can buy. A house we can repair or rebuild. To make it the way we want it. So, for about 2 years ago we finally found it. An ordinary little house on the outside of town. Finally, we could do things for ourselves. Make things to be as we wanted it. And yes, it's a great time to work on the house and in the garden. But there is a limit to what you can take up. There is great risk that you make your own "must do", "must rebuild" and making up your own requirements and regulations. The risk is that the dream becomes a pain. Don't let that happen! What I want to convey and trying to get others to do are: Enjoy life. Enjoy what's around you. Be happy, and spread the joy to others. Take the day as it comes. Do not put up for high standards, or to big goal. You can defer some things to another day. Dare to find or try something new. Break old patterns. If it turn up something unexpected, see it as an opportunity. Not as an obstacle. Now, I will take on my coat, my boots and my MP3 player and go for a stroll in the forest. Just because I enjoy that. I probably be out... maybe two or three hours. Make your self a nice day, and enjoy life! Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com I'm KGH Man, the owner of www.EnjoyEasyLiving.com.
