In pondering how everyone on this site lives, and that I'm one of the wilder ones here it seems, I decided that I should give y'all some pointers on how to get more out of your lives- in other words- how to live like an ESTP- this should get you started!
- never pass up an opportunity to try something new- be it fire roasted chicken hearts or buying a knife from a black market arms dealer- you never know when such an opportunity may present itself again and you don't want to be 90 years old and regretting that you never tried it!
- realize- the past is gone and the future isn't here yet- NOW is what matters, so make the most of it! Sure stopping by the bar with some friends one evening during finals week may sound like a bad idea to you- but time spent with your friends is something well spent- enjoy yourself and don't stress it- you need to enjoy your life!
- appreciate the little things in your life- whether it's the way that the bubbles in a really good champaigne pop against the roof of your mouth or the way that mud feels between your toes- you have at least 5 senses- USE THEM!!!
- give all you can to others- whether it's food and drinks or just cheering them up when they're down- not only does it make you feel like the generous lord or lady, but they might feel more inclined to help you when you're down and out if you're magnanimous when you're living good!
- don't be afraid of what could happen if you try something- you'll never know until you try it! You only hear the bad things that happen in the news- they usually ignore what happens if a person climbs a tree and DOESN'T fall out, or how many people go rock climbing a year and DON'T die or get maimed! Everything in life is dangerous- so don't worry!
- you need to make yourself happy! The world doesn't owe you happiness (or anything for that matter), so you've got to do the best you can yourself! Sure it may sound selfish at first, but think of how much more good that you can do for people if you're happy! You're not doing any good for anyone if you're always feeling sad and put upon! And remember- saints are only sometimes appreciated after they die- certainly not during life!
- other people are awesome- do what you can to help them out whenever you have a chance because it will make you feel helpful and happy as well as cheering them up some- remember though- if it comes down to saving them or saving yourself you owe it to yourself- unless they're mother Theresa they're probably not thinking about how to get you through dire straits when stuck there themselves (unless we're talking team work here!)- life is a game and you've got to play to win!!! (cliche, yes, but kind of true!
)
That's a good start on advice on relaxing a bit and enjoying your life
Some of you need it sometimes!
Thanks in advance!
I have taken it upon myself to read that every morning when I wake up, and every evening before I go to bed. Thank you for going through and finding that, and it really is so helpful to me!! *adores and appreciates*
