"We need to reflect again and again on the special opportunity we now have. If we develop a deep appreciation for the preciousness of this life we will definately make a determination to use it wisely. Then we will feel as if our life has become truely meaningful." Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

I went on a long bike ride today and the freedom got me thinking about what would be an an ideal lifestyle for me and I hope for others.

An ideal lifestyle

:D

To be able to enjoy good times, good friends, good food, good company and good humour.

To be able to be relaxed and stress free and to be able to relax others.

To live a comfortable existence that causes no harm to others: human, animal or spirit.

To be constantly creative and not worry about having to earn an income from that creativity.

To be loving towards all creatures and to be much loved in return.

To have a companion whom one could trust implicitly and each would allow the other breathing space to be alone for a while.

To have no money worries and be secure for the future.

To have the wisdom to treasure all that is good even in the smallest of moments.

To have the wisdom to learn from mistakes.
