What would make you truly satisfied with life?

I read something posing this question. Then I asked myself, what would make me truly satisfied with my life. The results were enlightening.

The list wasn't short. But the things on the list weren't huge. For example, win the lottery was not on there. There were items that were predictable for my situation. For example, not being in pain everyday was a big one.

But there were some that surprised me. And the lack of some that I thought would really make my life complete were noticeably absent.

Interesting.

  1. I would like to talk to you about your list--it seems like something I've been reading about in "Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga"

  2. In case you read this before we talk again, here are a few from the list:

    -Being able to write whenever I wanted
    -Being nicer to myself
    -Feeling stronger physically
    -Living in a house rather than an apartment

  3. Your first list item is my first list item! :)Great minds...

    I also wished that my life wasn't so full of the things that I "have" to do so I could put in more of the things i "Want" to do.

    And winning the lottery isn't there for me either, but having a comortable "rainy day" account is!
