The Traits of Satisfaction

As we journey through life attempting to satisfy the most basic of our desires, we look for clues, hints, secrets, directions on how to achieve satisfaction of those desires. In regards to that statement, it is interesting to see the commonalities of people who seem to be able to achieve what they desire in life. While there are those who achieve either monetary success, power attainment success, family life satisfaction, or personal happiness success without capturing all of them, there are examples of people who have encompassed them all.

From a variety of sources, there seems a certain few common traits that these people possess, regardless of their gender, age, or race. While each of the traits may be presented differently to overcome the negative impacts of societal perception on certain genders, ages, or races, they successfully any disadvantages these societal constraints may have presented. I will list these traits (in no particular order) or characteristics and feel free to comment with any opinion you may have on my list or for sources of examples of the characteristics.

1. Alpha personality without negatively impacting more than a few others.
2. Adaptability to surroundings.
3. Common courtesy towards all others above and below them.
4. Attention to details in their work, profession, family life, people's names, etc.
5. Belief in themselves regardless of others opinions.
6. The perception of failing as a step on the ladder to achieving their dreams and visions.
7. Passion for what they do.
8. Appreciation of what has made them the people they have become.
9. The recognition and admittance of when they are wrong.
10. A faith, dream, or belief in something larger then themselves (whether religious, the good of humanity, the future of the world, etc.)

Please feel free to give input!

Unexplainable

Just some simple words to express the obvious. From experiences the past 7 months of life, I have rediscovered a simple truth of life. The feeling of fulfillment does not occur from activities related to unattached sex, alcohol, or selfish pleasures. Although it may provide a rush that can be intoxicating in an extensive number of ways, these activities and the feelings they provide are not sustainable.

Weekends spent skipping shenanigans and spent dedicating time to family relationships, long lost friendships, and community assistance have been the most rewarding and memorable from my experiences. This simple knowledge has revitalized my emotional state and outlook to the future. I encourage all to dedicate their time to these alternative selfless activities rather than the ones that seem to present themselves so often and in such a tempting manner.

Good day all.

Different Way of Looking at Things

Here's a video from a young man who has not just followed the Church but looks at things in a different way. As I believe with many things, although you may not agree with a viewpoint someone has given, there is always something to learn or consider from what is said. 

Enjoy

Life-long Thought

As I move through the first few weeks of college, I have come to a realization about a common aspect of many people's lives, including my own. Before, as a high school student and younger, family was just something that was always around, always a guaranteed aspect of life. Often it was just something that I didn't appreciate or pause to respect and enjoy; just another thing that could get on my nerves or stress me out. As I move on towards another stage in life, I realize my mistake. Family time is scarce relative to life-span, and one should appreciate the time he/she is able to spend with family members. Point in case, regardless of the condition of the relationship with mother, father, etc. make sure to spend time with and enjoy the time you are able to spend with them. If the relationship is fractured or fragile, try to repair it, it is definitely worth it in the long run.... because one day, it might be too late.
