Well, what do you know?
November 1, 2005 | 12:00am
Man is like proto-plasm. He needs to be sustained by elements that supply the energy to live. Unfortunately, man is more complicated than a living cell enclosed in a cellular wall. He has deeper needs such as love, material prosperity, knowledge, spiritual peace, and the deep-seated desire to find joy and fulfillment in life.
Well-being, the state of being well, is a natural aspiration of man. To be healthy, happy, comfortable, and secure are desires all men strive for. To be a complete and vibrant organism, man has to be fully functional, expressed, and fulfilled in every aspect of life.
Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and even financial well-being require balance, management, a vision of what one wants in life, some planning and goal setting, and a realization that life is an interlinked, symbiotic, and synergistic human experience.
Your wellness in life depends on your aims and dreams, and your success in achieving them. Want to feel good about yourself and live a fuller, more vibrant, and fulfilling life?
• Be healthy. Health is paramount in life; it should be your primary concern. If you are unhealthy, nothing else matters much. What good are all your material, financial, and social achievements if you are sick and dying? Take care of your body for it is your temple on earth.
• Be positive, optimistic, and cheerful. It is best to look at the brighter side all the time. Life itself is often a chore, a bore. It could even be Calvary for some. Dwelling on the negative will make you sink further into the mire. Don’t focus on the mud; look up at the stars!
• Be creative. To add magic to life, you must be imaginative and creative. All the most exciting ideas, products, and inventions the world has enjoyed and benefited from have come from creative, artistic, and scientific minds. Create, improvise, innovate, and revolutionize!
• Be productive. Great ideas should be made real. To materialize, they have to be produced or manufactured. The chair in your mind has to be made into a chair you can sit on. The music in your head is nothing until it is heard and enjoyed by other people. Produce and lead a productive, profitable life!
• Express yourself. Life is what goes on while we live; living is our reaction to life. Life is for expressing yourself. Don’t leave your feelings, ideas, and grand designs bottled up inside. Express yourself, reach out, and let the world hear from you!
• Be successful. Nobody likes a loser; everybody loves a winner. Success is the ultimate reward, the crown of laurels for a well-lived life. And don’t be shy to flaunt your success. Savor it, share it, and live it up!
• Be rich. Do away with your guilt feelings about being financially wealthy. Go for the rich, perfumed, abundant life. Be wealthy not just in money and possessions, but rich in experience, values, knowledge, virtue, and wisdom. It is easier to love and help others when you have the means.
• Be beautiful. It is your duty to be beautiful. People love beautiful people. They want to be around them, befriend them, and get a chance to love them. Enhance your physical beauty and downplay your faults. Beauty is both in the eyes of the beholder and what is beheld.
• Be self-realized. In a scientific study, it was found out that the happiest people are those who are self-realized. Live and achieve your dreams and fight for what you believe and stand for. Realizing what is most important for you gives your life more direction and fulfillment.
• Spread love, peace, and joy. Be a vessel of love, a soldier of peace, and a fountain of joy. Spread sunshine and elicit smiles everywhere you go. The more you live in service to other people, the happier you will be.
• Strive for spiritual calm and serenity. You cannot sleep well if you have a disturbed, guilty spirit. Make peace with people you have hurt; make amends for your mistakes and wrongdoings. The way to spiritual peace and tranquility is through a clean, loving, and forgiving heart.
• Build a better world. Make it your mission to build a better, cleaner, happier, and more prosperous world. Leave the earth in a better condition than when you first stepped on it. Then you can say that your life was worth living!
