Living our best life [ WE #170]

Hello wonderful people of Hive, it's a cool Saturday evening from my end. A lot of things have been happening since yesterday, but I am all the much so grateful for life and its benefits, though currently it may not be like much, but I am still grateful for how things are turning out to be.

My image taken at school today, thinking about how things will turn out better

True, for each individual, what we understand about living the best life is so much different. Today I was sitting outside our class with a course mate of mine. She started by saying she usually says some things pertaining to some particular tribe but she herself is from there. She said the way some people do or plan out their lives always makes her wonder if they actually know what the end outcome would be. She was stating her point about how the present economy was treating some people, but some set of individuals were living the life of the party. She said if she had the enablement she would want to do things for people instead of just spending blindly.

I said one thing to her that everyone knows what is best in this life, but we as individuals choose to do what fits us best and that is their definition of “living our best life”, so for me what this phrase means to me is different from what it means to other people and might also mean different for us even if she was against some people's way of living.

So the first thing for me is having Purpose and fulfillment. Having a sense of purpose and working towards meaningful goals is a key element in living one's best life. This provides motivation, direction, and a sense of accomplishment. Someone who finds joy in seeing people look beautiful might find fulfillment in being a make-up artist, or someone who cherishes environmental conservation might find fulfillment in working for a non-profit organization dedicated to it.

Also, I feel the next way one can describe living the best life is having good health and Well-being. Maintaining physical and mental health is crucial for a fulfilling life. Without good health, it can be challenging to enjoy other aspects of life. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management contribute to overall well-being. I know that the last few months of my cousin's life, she would have been praying to God for better health. Even those of us that weren't the sick ones were hurt by how her health was treating her. I remember her mom called and said she had told her she was tired of the dialysis section she was undergoing.

In essence what I am trying to say is we can't say we are living the best life without having good health.

In addition to the element we can say we need to live the best life, it is by building Strong Relationships. The quality of life can be greatly enhanced by building and nurturing meaningful relationships with family, friends, and loved ones. These connections provide emotional support, companionship, and a sense of belonging. An example would be someone who invests time and effort in maintaining close friendships and spends quality time with their family. I tell you there is nothing like family or should I say connections with people. It's really not easy being alone and saying you are living the best life. That is never possible. It is by being with these people that one creates memories and lasting relationships.

This is my response to the weekend engagement week 170
