I am not doing anything spectacular with my life, I do what I enjoy doing. I take pleasures in simple everyday things, I have a great wife, son and daughter. I am not rich, but I pretty much have everything I need. I workout to keep myself healthy and for the most part my job is not stressful with some exceptions like the last week.
For me success is being able to do what you enjoy most of the day.
This resonates, but also makes me wonder. What if "what we enjoy" is not actually what helps us? What if we have been conditioned to want what isn't good for us, that which doesn't support us? What if we are programmed to continually choose "wellbeing failure"?
Simple is good.
Yeah, some of the things that "we enjoy" are definitely not good for us, for example sugar laced food that I love so much. Other examples are the "do nothing" that most of us will choose if we had that choice. Those things you kind of have to fight through and control.
I wonder if it was such a fight to control ourselves earlier.
