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. Turn your senior years into your
golden years, and don’t become depressed like many seniors do as they continue
to advance in their age.
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.
