!0 Things People Who Love Their Lives Do
Do you love your life? Its a heavy question to ask in some light. If you think you might be having trouble truly loving yourself and your life, read on and see what some people who love their lives do with it.
1. They dont bother trying to make others like them mainly because they dont care if theyre liked.
For people who love themselves and their lives, they feel like they only need to answer to themselves. If you hate them, they couldnt care less. They love their lives!
2. They do things because they want to do them, not because they believe they have to do them.
Happy people dont believe that they have to do anything than what is otherwise mandatory, like showering and paying your taxes. They dont feel compelled to do things just because other people want them to. They dont handle being coerced into doing things either.
3. They love their friends but dont rely on them.
This one applies very much to me. Of the friends I have, I care deeply about them. But when it come down to it, I never rely on them for much of anything. Theyre friends, not tools in my life. My independence is important to me, and over-reliance on your friends can kill a friendship.
4. When you ask them what they do, they dont give you a job title.
If you were to go on a date with someone who loves their life, asking them what they do probably wont result in being told that theyre an accountant. Theyll talk about projects theyre working on, maybe how theyre dealing with problems, or what they genuinely enjoy doing.
5. They live in the moment, but dream in the future.
Were always told of the importance to live in the moment, but people who love their lives dream of the future. Its easy for them. They anticipate the future being a magnificent place for their life to be.

6. When you ask them where they live, they say, At the moment
At the moment, is such a fun sentence. It shows a deep desire for impermanence. Traveling does the soul some good, and the stagnancy of staying in one place can be a bit of a bore.
7. They have their own philosophies, their own religion they created and live by.
Books arent needed for you to know how to go about your life. People who love their lives dont require a book or philosophy or religion to tell them what to do. You can live your life by whatever philosophy you wish. Youre fortunate enough to have the faculties needed to know right from wrong.
8. They embrace their impermanence.
People who love their lives have gotten past the fact that theyre mortal. Having that knowledge can feel cruel at times, but thats all the more reason to love your life. Happy people dont fear death. They dont avoid the thought of it either. They cant control death, but they can control life.
9. They see the world as their playhouse and their mind as the conductor.
There isnt a single way that the world is a single reality in which you should live. And happy people who love their lives are all too aware of it. Theyre the conductors of their own lives, and the world is their playhouse.
10. They dont bother changing others, but instead learn how to deal with them appropriately.
Not only is devoting your energy to changing someone worthless at the end of the day, but how would you feel if someone thought you were all wrong and tried to change you? If people want to change, they can, but they do it of their own accord.
Yes they do, but when you get there, you can say that your really and truly "Free".
Can't exactly say I am 10 for10, but I try to embracemost of thetraits at some time or another in my daily life. Good article, Ambi. Thanks.
I love saying 'retired' when someone asks what I do. Even though I still work in the summers in AK, it is more for the opportunity to fill my freezer with fresh fish, than a real need to work. Actually, I do like my work, and I am very good at it. Guess a little of #6 still left in me.
Great article, ambi! I've been a lot happier since I "retired". So much less strain and stress-- it was just too much to deal with.
Take care, dear friend!
Fun article. I think I could go on a rant on each point. I shan't, though. All points are right on the money.
I knew you would love retirement. I sure do. I retired when I was 50 and never looked back.
#4, I've worn a LOT of hats in my life. (perfect answer) but hey, when I wanted work, or needed money, I found a way.
Don't think I can hang with #6 (17 years at present location and previous 10 years five miles away) but prior to that I was all over the place so at least I can relate.
The other eight just plain fit.
