Life Treasure Hunt
What a treasure it would be to Get back to a simpler time…
Do you remember as a kid lying on the ground looking up at the clouds, or at night at the stars? Remember how you looked at the world differently, and life seemed simpler. You got up when you felt like it, you went to bed at a decent time because your parents told you it was bed time. You may have said, “But I’m not tired,” however, your parents knew you needed your sleep. Then you got older and life got busier. No one tells you when to go to sleep any more, and for some reason you are tired all the time… Do you long for a simpler time when you did not have all the responsibilities?
Self-Improvement
Think about what is good for your health, physically, mentally and spiritually. I am not a child any more, but now looking back the rules my parents gave me were because they cared about me and loved me. There was a bed time, bath time, meal time, study time, play time, and eat your vegetables time. (Oh, and not a ‘time’ per say, but an unspoken rule to be nice and kind to others.) Now, I am an adult, I do what I want. Where did that get me, fat, tired, working wishing I could go play. I had to set rules for myself to do a few things that are good for me. I think this is the main thing that has helped me begin to lose weight, acquire a better life rhythm and feeling of serenity. I went back to the basic rules my parents imposed upon me. My parents loved me; now I need to do the things they told me to do, to be better to me.
