Sometimes, outside circumstances cause that loss. Sometimes, we cause ourselves to lose the things that mean the most to us.
Whether a life-changing accident happens or you momentarily do something out of character that leads to irreparable damage, you often only realize what you had once it’s gone.
That’s why you need to protect some fundamental aspects of your life with a fervor that can’t be tamed.
Our lives and priorities are all different. However, there are precious things in life that are pretty much universal.
Never lose track of these:
1. HAPPINESS
Two key components of Happiness are:
• The balance of emotions: Everyone experiences both positive and negative emotions, feelings, and moods. Happiness is generally linked to experiencing more positive feelings than negative.
• Life satisfaction: This relates to how satisfied you feel with different areas of your life including your relationships, work, achievements, and other things that you consider important.
2. PASSION
Your calling is your life’s work. It’s your legacy. To find what you have a passion for, and to pursue that passion, is to find the vehicle you’ll use to contribute your greatness to the world.
3. LOVE
These can seem like separate, unrelated things, but they are opportunities to experience love in its varying forms. Experiencing love can give our life a sense of meaning and purpose, like something else…
4. FAMILY
Sometimes, it’s easy to forget just how much family means to us. They’re the people we typically live with and it’s hard to live with another person– no matter how much we like them. Love gives way to frustration and sometimes…we feel like we hate the other person.
However, your family is irreplaceable and precious, so you have to devote your time and energy to nurturing those precious relationships not just for the sake of your relatives, but also for your own.
5. FRIENDS
A great friend can become like family. You forge an inseparable bond with someone whom you know you can always count on — no matter how dark things get. A good friend is a confidant, a shoulder to lean on, and sometimes the voice of reason for us.
Always remember how lucky you are to have found someone you can truly call a good friend.
6. HEALTH
However, once you have even a single small health complication you’ll know exactly just how important this is. At the first sign of complications, you realize that everything is jeopardized by bad health.
With good health, you can spend more time with friends and family, enjoy the love in your life, and follow your passion to your heart’s content. With bad health…you eventually lose it all. So, take care of your health so you have more time to enjoy the other most important things in your life.
How to Live Life to the Fullest
The First Decision – To Define It
Create your own definition of success for you – just you.
Decide to be the arbiter of your own life. It must be yours.
The First Action – Document It
keeping it simple, memorable and appealing.
The Second Decision – To Do What’s Required
This decision is about committing to learning and doing what’s necessary to get you from the bottom of the mountain to the top – not in panicked fashion, but methodically and consistently. It’ll probably take you years to do this. Commit to figuring out what you need to learn, finding trusted sources to learn from, and then doing the work to learn and apply their teachings.
The Second Action – Focus on Process, not Inspiration
The ones who really make it in this world are those with daily habits that put them on the path to success, and they focus on mastering those habits. The outcomes take care of themselves. By focusing on their habits, they’re successful every day, not one day.
I can’t tell you what specific habits you’ll need to master, but you can bet they’ll be simple. They’re going to include things like:
- How and when you sleep
- How early you rise and what you do each morning
- How you treat your body
- Learning and improving a little every day
- Who you surround yourself with
Mastering your habits will change your life!

Rhythm in Nature
Making the Connection to Life through Natural Rhythms:
Natural rhythms guide all that we do – our very existence. Our breath and heartbeat are constant reminders of life’s pulsing rhythm that moves within and around us.
Our lives are orchestrated or guided by the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, the changes in temperature from day to night and from season to season, the tidal ebb and flow, and by our own internal rhythm. These rhythms guide our daily activity.
Not only are there external rhythms and cycles, there are also rhythms and cycles in our own lives. Women, more than men are affected by the daily and monthly cycles that guide our energy, moods and sleep. When our rhythms are in sync, life flows easily – we have more energy and tend to view things more positively, and we are more socially connected and find life more satisfying.
The body rhythms are called circadian rhythms. These signal and affect every aspect of our life, for example, they govern when to wake up, to sleep, to be active and they determine how much energy we have. They play a role in our socializing – they influence how we socialize and how we feel.
These circadian rhythms are as predictable as clockwork – that is why we are said to have a body clock.
Aging, a Natural Stage of Life
Babyhood, through Childhood, Adolescence, Adulthood, Parenthood, and Aging, show us that we have a Life Cycle of which birth and death are a part. The slow movement is about being aware of and connecting to these rhythms and cycles, and working with them instead of against them or in ignorance of them.
Many people live their lives cut off from the natural rhythms and cycles of nature and of their own bodies. They no longer get up with the sun, and they may stay up till the wee hours of the morning. Their pace of life is such that it is inconsequential whether it is night or day or winter or summer. The phases of the moon go unnoticed. Even the stages of their own life go unnoticed. This plays havoc with their body clocks. Their erratic stressful lives are in a state of arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a term used to refer to the disorders of the regular beating of the heart, for example wild erratic beating, slow uneven beating.
Traditionally all cultures have lived in harmony with the natural rhythms and cycles and have included celebrations, festivals and outdoor events to reinforce their occurrence. Most of these are now lost to our current consumeristic, success oriented lives.
We can bring these traditions back by marking them with some activity. For example, we could hold an organic dinner party for friends to mark the solstices and equinoxes. A way to notice and be in tune with the seasons and diurnal rhythms is to start a vegie garden. Not only will you connect to your food source, you will connect more easily with these life rhythms.
More than ever before our children and ourselves, need to be part of the slow movement and live in tune with the natural rhythms and cycles that have guided our evolution for the past 2 billion years. We need to connect to life.
