The Wisdom of Living for Life
The Creator has
given each of us a life to live. Each individual’s life is unique in itself,
and everyone’s life journey is paved with his or her personal encounters and
events to enrich that unique life experience. Therefore, there is no blueprint
for living
Since the beginning
of time, man has applied every means to attain longevity basically for two
reasons—to defer the inevitable end; and to continue indulging in the
pleasurable experiences along the life journey. Some prefer to ignore death and
continue to indulge in life pleasures as if it would never come, while others
are preoccupied with the impending fate that stresses the body and the
mind. No matter what, death is inevitable.
Irrespective of the
purpose of everyday living for any individual, the quintessence of living for
life is health fitness, without which everyday living may become a daily
struggle, a dream turned into a nightmare. Health fitness is a prerequisite for
longevity.
Health fitness
embraces physical fitness, mental fitness, and spiritual fitness—they impact
how you think and what you do; they are the components of living for life. You
need physical fitness to reduce the risks of becoming ill, disabled, or dying
prematurely. Mental fitness enables you to adapt appropriately to negative
changes brought on by diagnosis and treatment of chronic disease. Spiritual
fitness may facilitate you to bounce back from the devastating effects brought
on by sudden and unexpected changes, such as bereavement of spouse or loved
ones.
Life is never
static: everyday living is full of challenging changes from time to time. Many
of these changes are welcomed and embraced, but some are dreaded and even
painful. Being able to cope with these changes in life is fundamental to living
for life. More importantly, the ability to bounce back from these undesirable
negative changes holds the key to the art of living well.
What is living for
life?
Living for life is
living with passion and purpose. Nobody is born with the gift of living for
life: there is no blueprint for this. It comes from thoughts, behaviors, and
actions, and these attributes have to be acquired through mental and physical
effort and deliberation. Only health fitness provides an environment for an
individual to turn them into a reality.
Your Golden Years and Santa Claus shows you the wisdom in happy and
successful aging through changing your perspectives in matters of aging,
health, money, loss and bereavement issues. It is a holistic approach to living
in simplicity with compassion and tranquility in the golden years.
