それぞれの違いはありますが、最も途方もない夢を達成した人々の間には、多くの類似点があります。 まず、彼らは基本的なニーズを優先します。 基本的なニーズを満たしておけば、邪魔にならなくなります。 エネルギーが解放されて別の方向に流れるようになります。
非常に成功した人々は、自分の快適ゾーンから外に出ようとすることで知られています。 その特性だけでも素晴らしいですが、それを毎日実行できるかどうかが大きな違いを生みます。 したがって、良い人生を送りたいのであれば、この記事を読んで行動を起こしてください。 以下は、あなたが果敢に挑戦するのに役立つ、やりたいことのトップ 20 リストです。
1. 本当に不快に感じることをしてください。
「恐怖を直視して立ち止まるすべての経験によって、人は強さ、勇気、自信を獲得します。 あなたは自分自身にこう言うことができます、「私はこの恐怖を生き抜いてきた」。 次に来るものは受け取れるよ。』 自分にはできないと思うことをやるべきだ。」 –エレノア・ルーズベルト
2. 自分自身に身体的な課題を設定し、最後までやり遂げます。
「ランニングにおいては、先頭にいるか、集団の真ん中にいるか、最後にいるかは関係ありません。 「もう終わった」と言えます。 そこには大きな満足感があります。」 –フレッド・リーボウ
3. 時間をかけて、自分が本当に望むものを見つけてください。
「好きな仕事を選べば、人生で一日も働かなくて済むようになる。」 -孔子
4. 週に 1 泊のボランティアに参加します。
「役に立ってください。 友人や同僚に自分の時間を提供する場合でも、毎月時間を作ってボランティア活動を行う場合でも、困っている人に奉仕することほど、力を与えられたという感覚を得ることができるものはありません。」 –ジリアン・アンダーソン
5. 周りの人たちに心からの関心を持ちましょう。
「誰もが、他人の最も秘密の自己を許されることを何よりも望んでいます。 誰もが誰かに自分の最も秘密な自分を見せてもらいたいと思っています。」 –エイダン・チェンバース
6. Learn to let people help you, too.
“You need other people, Madeline. There’s a great freedom in knowing that. And accepting that. And letting people in. Letting them help you.” –Blake Nelson
7. Cultivate the habit of letting go. Everything and anything that’s getting in your way–let it go now.
“Let it go, let it go!” –Frozen
8. Do something for someone else, without expecting anything in return.
“When you’ve seen beyond yourself then you may find peace of mind is waiting there, and the time will come when you see we’re all one, and life flows on within you and without you.” –The Beatles
9. Give yourself time to wander this wonderfully diverse and complex world we live in.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” –Mark Twain
10. Dance shamelessly and as often as possible.
“To dance is to be out of yourself. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful. This is power, it is glory on earth, and it is yours for the taking.” ―Agnes De Mille
11. Face your past. And then let it go.
“Be not the slave of your own past – plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson
12. Make peace with who you are.
“We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.” –Lynn Hall
13. Learn to meditate.
“The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.” –Caroline Myss
14. Cultivate your sense of gratitude.
“Be thankful for your trials. If you’re being tested, you’re being perfected. Which means you have a divine purpose and reason to rejoice.” –Unknown
15. Accept that there will be failures and setbacks along the way, and that sometimes your progress will appear very small by comparison. Keep moving forward anyway.
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson
16. Embrace the joy in life.
“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” –Brené Brown
17. Spend time alone.
“The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself.” –Diane Von Furstenberg
18. Go vegan, and let it open your heart.
“I have from an early age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men.” – Leonard da Vinci
19. Find something you can do with absolute abandon.
“Do anything, but let it produce joy.” –Walt Whitman
20. Make space in your life for media-free time.
“It’s called ‘the web’ because once you’re in it, you’re stuck.” –Terry Hall
What are your tips for living the good life?
Great article, Hilary!
Keeping a positive outlook in life is VERY important. Let go and learn from mistakes of the past. Drop pessimists and keep optimists. Always challenge and push yourself to doing something you haven’t done.
The world we live in is complex, but we can always make it simple.
I love this article! It brings positive vibe! Living a good life is not easy, but it’s possible!
YES! No excuses, step out of your comfort zone and dare to take the challenge! Living a good life is a “goal” and it’s impossible to easily reach a goal.
Nice list!
Encouraging article 🙂 Great read to start my day. Nowadays, it’s really hard to live a good life.
I still need to accomplish 4 more items from this list 😉
I have been trying to set a physical challenge for myself. I want to experience “hiking.” Hopefully, this year I’d be able to check this one off my list…
Okay, #1 and #18 check! It felt uncomfortable going vegan (at least for me). But it’s been three years and I’m still “successfully” following the vegan diet 🙂 So I feel really accomplished!
I feel you, going vegan was also hard for me at first, felt like I was pushing myself to maximum and I almost gave up. But the experience… it’s really fulfilling!
Proud vegan here 😉
Love this: “It’s called ‘the web’ because once you’re in it, you’re stuck.” –Terry Hall
It made me smile. Now I’m thinking, yeah, most of the time, I’m caught and can’t move… Oh no! Now, I’m focusing to have a media-free time.
For me, #15 is the hardest to accomplish. More often than not, I focus on my mistakes (sometimes to the point of thinking I’m a failure) which is not helping me. Yes, I’m trying to change this mentality… Slowly… I’ll be better…
Meditation helps and heals! It helps in understanding oneself and heals the wounds from the past.
Great list! Wish I can still accomplish all these…
Well, I’m on my way to living a good life… #7 and #11 — all about letting go. Indeed, it’s hard to go on and live a good life if one carries “heavy luggage” from the past.
