What Makes A Good Life?
-
What should you aim for, and how do you structure your life to ensure that you’re always pointing in the right direction?
-
I had some assistance in answering this question from CEO, author and podcaster aubreymarcus on Modern Wisdom today...
-
A good life is built on:
- Experiencing things.
- And leaving the world a better place than when you found it.
-
“We’re here on Earth to really experience everything – to eat the food, to try the drinks, to try the drugs… not all the drugs, but some of them… Do the things. Go visit the beautiful places. Go take a dip in a cold waterfall, feel rainfall on your face, head to a desert, climb a snowy mountain, surf, play, dance, and make love. Do all the things we were meant to do.” — aubreymarcus
-
The good life is supported by 4 pillars:
- Take care of your body; move, eat, get sunlight, hydrate, go outside.
- Understand your mind; meditate, be truthful, face your fears and vulnerabilities head on.
- Align yourself to love in a relationship; find a partner who is good for you and invest into them.
- Build & cultivate a community; avoid people who don’t talk your language, find friends who tell you what you need to hear and don’t accept your BS.
-
The foundation is speaking the truth and loving everyone. So many of us are living personas we don’t even know what our truth is any more.
-
The persona gets hurt less but is incapable of receiving love. If you want to spend your life playing a character who you watch receiving praise whilst the true you withers backstage then you can, but it will be a half life.
-
Fulfilment comes from truth, virtue, vulnerability and despite all this, despite your failings & deficiencies you flourish and become a better version of you, whilst bringing the world along with you.
