What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

To me … A good life is monotonous, it’s drama free, it’s a form of solitude, it’s comforting, it’s scheduled, it’s paced… Has nothing to do with what we drive, what our bank accounts look like, our friend circles, it don’t need to be extravagant to be a good life… It just needs to be quiet.

1. Boundaries… The ability to say no, to keep people at the right distance, and to protect my energy from being constantly drained by others. Most people don’t understand this, but some of us absorb everything around us, which means we have to be really intentional about what we let in.

2. Time that’s actually mine… Hours when I can think clearly without everyone else’s noise interrupting my thoughts. That whole having a schedule that works, even if other people think it’s odd, follow it.

3. The freedom to create without limits…  Being able to write my thoughts, and express myself without constantly worrying about who I might offend… My creative fire should burn as big as it wants … it’s mine, not theirs.

4. Knowing when to step back… Recognizing when I’m overwhelmed before it becomes something worse, and having the courage to disappear for as long as I need to recharge… Even if it costs some relationships.

5. Being okay with being misunderstood… People are going to judge my choices, my schedule, my need for space… I’ll let them, I know what works for me.

😁 … Life isn’t about being liked by everyone… It’s about being true to yourself, even when that truth is inconvenient for others.
