How to Setup for A Priceless Good-Feel Experience of Life
“If you've ever used a bunch of identical keys to
enter some premises on a regular basis, chances are on many occasions, it took
you chunks of time to find the right key in the bunch. At times you most
probably had to try out all the possible keys in the bunch before getting to
the right one. However, over a period, and with some growing
frustrations, you may have decided to pay attention to figure out whatever
subtle differences there may be between the keys or how they are arranged
within the key holder. From thence onward you now had your system under
control, because you took a moment to pay attention to details. If this scenario on managing a bunch of keys
sounds familiar to you, or makes some sense, consider now how in everyday life
there are moments where we manage to unlock some good feel experiences, but
unfortunately and on numerous occasions we struggle to recreate or relive such.
No doubt life is tough, but there's always little doors to access good, and the
key is in paying attention to notice when such happens. This way, we each
can develop a system for identifying such outlets, to access a sense of feeling
good in life, arguably the most sought-after quality in the experience of life”
How to Setup for A Priceless Good-Feel Experience of Life
Many people, possibly you too, express an endless
desire to live a life engulfed in happiness, for as long as they want, but
often fail to do so because they get held-up trying to figure out the best ways
to influence happiness in their lives.
Some will even go to the extent of copying others, with the hope that
what gives joy to others may equally work for them, but that doesn’t often work
because everyone has their own specific desires, interests, preferences, values
etc., and there may be only very little to no overlap at all, between
individuals.
People who truly enjoy life are those who live on the
causative side of things, they are at-cause or proactive, and make things
happen to influence the outcomes they desire to experience. The latter, that is the desired experience,
once it manifests, is what gives your life meaning, and it happens following
your deliberate act to give value, which itself represent your meaningfulness
to life. So, the meaning of your life is
determined by your meaningfulness to life, and hence all things leading to a
great life with meaning, and engulfed in happiness, for as long as you want,
begins with you.
While
many people look more to valuable possessions and money, to provide them with a
lasting sense of happiness and a feel good aura, others may get demoralized,
frustrated, hopeless, and totally give up on life, because they can’t find
opportunities for employment, or they don’t have the right qualifications, or
they don’t like the location of work, or it’s just taking too long to get
promoted to the right salary scale, for example. But people who have a great sense of meaning
in life don’t get fazed by any and every challenge, instead, they rise to the
occasion and stay on course, until the end of their journey of nature. The following 5 key lessons is how the latter
group of people manage to utilize the quality of meaning in life to manifest a feel-good
experience in their lives:
1. Consider meaning as the fruit that produces the
juice of life!
Meaning really is the source of the fulfilling
experience of life, or the tasty juice of life, whichever way you look at it or
you define the goodness of the experience of life. Meaning is the trigger for the feel-good
quality of life, in a longer-term sense, and that’s why you must set yourself
for meaningful living. The aspect or
attribute of meaning in life, is a natural phenomenon, and hence not something
that can be bought with money. It cannot
be genuine, and neither can it last long, if it’s based on non-natural or
artificial sources. Just like you, a
natural being, the good feeling of your experience of life, essentially the
meaning of life for you, must be triggered by a natural cause, and that means
you having to engage your natural abilities to create or influence outcomes
that fulfils yours and society’s desires in life.
2. Set yourself up to feel the sensation of meaning
and taste the goodness of it!
You must set yourself up to feel and taste the juice
of life, by noticing, appreciating, and embracing every other “now moment” when
life’s gifts and assists happen to come your way. This could be when you receive your next
meal, you get your first employment offer, you come out of hospital after
recovering from a fatal condition, you get something like a simple smile to
acknowledge the being you are, you get selected to represent your nation in a
major international event, or you receive a thank you for valuable
contributions you make at work or in society at large, and many more other
similar instances. You are never going
to experience the goodness of life, if all you do is to always look outside of
you, at things you consider missing in your life. In other words, your wish list of things to
get before you can allow yourself to rejoice.
Take note also that your wish list commonly extends to infinity, and
hence you’re more than likely to never get to the end of it. You’ll also miss-out on your juice of life if
your mind-set is fixed on only celebrating the big and popular events of others,
who you consider famous, and perhaps even more important and deserving than
you. Yes, our gifts will come in various
shapes and sizes, but they all signify the juice of life, which you must set
yourself up to feel and taste, by raising your sense of mindfulness. So, get ready to notice, receive, and embrace
the good that life offers to you, that’s the way you can start appreciating and
seeing meaning in life.
3. Do what you do to serve a clear purpose that
impacts life in a good way!
Here’s some interesting words of inspiration I would
like to share with you, attributed to Khalil Gibran, and goes thus “the
obvious is that which is never seen until someone expresses it simply”. I find these words very interesting when
considered in relation to the endless struggles that characterises modern human
life, including our inability to make possible for the whole world the
conditions of peace, love, joy, and happiness, which I consider our common
vision as a species. The interesting thing
is that humans are natural, and linked to an endless supply of natural power,
and not only that, but are also embedded with great abilities and potential,
which can easily be transformed and harnessed to create outcomes that meet our
needs. That is an obvious fact which
however may not be visible enough to most until “someone expresses it simply",
to the extent everyone can begin to see it vividly within themselves.
Even more interesting, and in line with the topic for
this post, is the fact that anyone who chooses to adopt some life role, big or
small, and specifically use it to give value, and nothing else, in some
productive way, will always experience a sense of meaning in life. Try to reflect, or better still, watch
yourself, when engaged in some activity of interest to you, wherein your role
is to provide either support, service, entertainment etc., to others, and the
recipients express some clearly visible gestures of acknowledgements and
gratitude. If you pay close attention to
the way you feel, or your reaction to such gestures, you’ll sense a remarkable
good feel experience. This is the reward
you always get when you present yourself to life as a contributor of value,
where there’s need, and you successfully make the necessary impact. The good feel experience you get is the
ultimate meaning of your life, and you happen to be the causative factor,
through your choice to engage in value-addition, simply, being purposeful.
So, I think yes, if you can get up each day and
contribute something of value to meet clearly defined or visible needs, you’ll
feel truly meaningful to life. This in
turn will serve to satisfy one of the top needs of human beings, at the
individual level, which is to feel an important part of society. Ultimately, there’ll be nothing else more
important to distract you from enjoying your juice of life. The obvious is that you are natural, and not
artificial, and can draw from your natural abilities to provide value to meet
human life needs, and in return receive a good feel experience, as your meaning
of life. Such is the simplest approach
to living a meaningful, joyous, and fulfilling experience of life.
4. Get rid of any acts that do not serve to propel
the journey of your life further!
You want to get rid of that which doesn’t make you
feel meaningful in any long-term way. You
know about those acts we often get drawn to, not because there’s a great value
to get out of it, but simply because they are popular events, and everyone is
doing it, but also commonly because this feeds the ego aspect of our human
element. If you find that a great deal
of your critical resources, like money, time, and efforts, seem to just
disappear overtime with nothing much to show, in the form of some advancement
in the quality of your life, then chances are you’ve veered-off track, and you
are likely to end on the opposite side of the meaning of your life. Yes, sometimes you may spend much of your
critical resources to impress or excite others, and feel important about it,
but it’s only a short-lived experience that doesn’t add much value into
advancing your journey, so you can continue to enjoy your juice of life. Make effort to raise your awareness about
this and slowly rid yourself of any acts that may only serve to kick the value
of meaning out of your life and jeopardize your desire to feel good and
continue your journey into the far distance.
5. Make it a habit to reward yourself for keeping
purposeful and meaningful as you go!
As you begin to grasp the concept of getting meaning
into your life, it’ll be very important that you give yourself a pat on the
back, become your own cheerleader, as well afford your spirit a victory dance,
to acknowledge all the transformation and achievements, as you manage to keep
giving value and maintain that sense of meaning in your life. You may want to expose yourself to a variety
of events of interest to revitalize, like sports, entertainment, travel, or any
other you prefer. This will serve to
inflate your sense of meaning in life and further propel your desire to keep
going for more of the feel-good experience, while you still have a moment in
life.
P.S. Thank you for taking a moment to read this. I hope this has been a great learning
experience for you and that you will begin to apply some of the lessons you
picked up here to enhance the quality of your life. Always keep this in mind that to live a
greatly inspired life, engulfed in happiness and a feel-good experience, going
the distance, all you must do is to simply become a conduit of value. This way, the Universe will respond by immersing
you in a good feel sensation, and this representing the true meaning of your
life. Thank you once more and if you
have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
