Don't forget to take a nap.
Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!
Naps are the best. I try to get a couple in everyday.
I think the reason a lot of people have jobs is because they have nothing better to do with their lives. Boredom is a symbol of your freedom.
This is so true. When I had to work for a living, i knew I was getting jipped. Life has to be about more than just working 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, so you can pay the debt you took out because you couldn't afford the house, the cars, the wardrobe, the private schools for the kids, that you bought with money you didn't have, just to impress people you don't even like!!
I had to retire earlier than I planned, because of circumstances I couldn't plan for, so I didn't qualify for the retirement check I was aiming for. But you know... I'm doing very well. I can afford nearly everything I truly want/need, as long as I plan for it.
The boredom doesn't strike me very often. But when it does, I just think how happy I am not having to give myself to a boss, making less than I'm worth, just to have food to eat, place to sleep, and facilities to bathe and keep my clothes clean, so I can get up tomorrow earlier than I want to, to go back to the J.O.B. and start the whole thing all over again.
Like I said, I don't get bored often. I spend my time with various online interests, watching movies and other interesting things on TV, and getting outdoors for a bit every chance I get.
My life would seem boring to most people. But I love it. And I'm not rich in things that most people value. But my freedom, my other blessings, are worth more in peace, contentment, and self-esteem than the best job, the most money, and the social status that most people chase, that eventually amount to nothing but a ball and chain.
I guess what I'm really trying to say, is that life has so many opportunities for living "the good life". Take a walk in the park. Or the woods. Or hike over to the river, or that lake you've heard has good fishing. Get a bike. Learn to play an instrument. Or ten. And go outside your tent/camper and sit under a tree in the cool summer breeze, and serenade the birds, the crickets, and the moon.
Use your imagination. You'll find lots of rewarding activities. And it won't matter if you don't have the money to go to that festival, or movie, or out to eat. Because you'll be surprised how little you need, if you focus on things that are really value.
