How To Enjoy Life

There are people in the world, and they can enjoy life, and there are people in life who needs a push to enjoy life. Enjoying life is not really difficult, although, you have to find it in the little things in your life.

Often I ask myself: "Agnes, what do you see in this table you are working on?", "Agnes, do you see that tree with the lovely pink flowers?", "Agnes, take a look at the form of the field you are walking in. What do form do you see?".

These are the little things I am looking for in life, which I enjoy incredible. I didn't want the money, but I enjoy the little things in life. For some people it is very difficult to enjoy the little things in life.

People want money, more money, big house, bigger house, big garden, bigger garden, all the high-end fashion brands. And it is all to show off how wealthy you are and how much you can spend from your bank account.

I believe we have to think more about the little things that life offers. It is not only the big house with high end fashions brands at home, it is the art you see in nature, it is the hug you got from your child, it is the sip water you just took, it is about the way people treat you, it is about what you just did and if you are happy with it.

I think people can see or hear if you really enjoyed your life. Most people are rushing through life without really knowing how the birds are singing, how the cow they just met sounded like. They only think about how they can get on the road to their goal.

Is enjoying life itself not a goal? I think it is my goals: to enjoy life as my life goal.

How do you enjoy your life?

Many people don't know the answer. People just do something in life, going to achieve their goals and before they know it, there is another day gone by. What did you see thorough the day? Did you see the water so clear and sprinkle from the fountain you just walked by in the busiest city of the world?

Stand still when you see that sprinkle water, so bright and shiny. Stand still, and feel what you feel when you stand in front of the water fountain.

Smell the flowers when you walk through the flower field and look at that flower field. Embrace the bright colors of the flower field. Look at it for minutes. Maybe you want to come back there in the future.

Look at the ugliest thing you bought in your life. What was it? Why is it the ugliest thing you bought? But look at it properly. What is the most beautiful thing of the ugliest thing you bought?

How you enjoy life, is up to you, but enjoy it from the little things in life. The biggest things doesn't matter like a lot of money. Money is just something that helps buy you your bread and milk, but it doesn't make you happy, or your life enjoyable.

Do you really enjoy living in a big house? Do you really love that big garden if you only sit in it and nothing do with your garden, such as gardening?

Most tings are just a burden when you don't enjoy it.

When you enjoy being in nature, that is fine. Enjoy everything that you see along the road, enjoy the view of the mountains.

When I enjoyed something, then my eyes get wide open and my brain rethinks about everything I have just seen and heard. I love talking to people close to my heart. They always have something meaningful to say. Having conversations with your loved ones are enjoyable too. You also precise to listen carefully.
