What 3 Things Are Important To You?
So a new thread...
What three things are important to you?
Don't include your health or friends & family or having enough money to pay your bills or hifi as I think those are all a given...
After the obvious things my three things are:
1) Having fun
2) Own transport
3) Contact lenses
My three most important things
Taking also the love of your pets as a given, and ignoring material possessions... I'm most in tune with Martin (Minstrel) so far. For me, mental and spiritual well-being: having a 'happy head', as it were, is vital, so these are my three 'biggies':
1) Happiness and feeling a genuine sense of fulfilment and contentment with life. Waking up every morning with a smile on my face, looking forward to the day ahead, facing no real worries or stress. [Tick]
2) TIME to do what I want, when I want, on my own or with those I care for, and divorcing myself (as far as possible) from the most odious influences of today's world - and just enjoying LIVING, rather than merely existing. And experiencing a genuine sense of FREEDOM. [Tick]
3) Being in CONTROL, as far as possible (God allowing), not of the people I know or live with, but of MY FUTURE, based on making MY DECISIONS, standing or falling on them, rather than being controlled by the decisions of others. [Tick]
If I could squeeze one more in there, I'd be loving NATURE: appreciating the wonder and majesty of the trees and the flowers and the sky that surround us, and all of God's creatures and creations: the very things that allow our (now crying) earth to BREATHE.....
How many of us these days, when out walking wherever we are, ever take the time to look around, AND UP, rather than simply straight ahead or down, and appreciate the above [or worse are glued to our bloody mobile phones], while we're constantly chasing our tails and running around like headless chickens, weighed down by the burdens and pressures of modern life...?
