“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” | Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems
How would you respond to the quote above? What are some of your plans for your life?
Here's my response:
I believe that in life many things change so we can never really be sure about what is going to happen next. Sometimes our dreams change or things don't go the way that we them planned at all and this can be frustrating. With this in mind, this is why one of my goals in life is to make myself smile everyday. I think that if I can do this then I am at least doing something right because then I am having fun with the time that I have on this earth. I want to live a life where I can look back and see that at least one good thing happend each day. I know that I will have bad days and that some days will be great but if can look for a good thing everyday then I feel like I will be able to value all of the little or big things that happen. My other plan for my life is to try something new or learn something new everyday. I believe that knowledge is a very good tool to have in life. I think that if I do this then I will be able to live a life with many experiences and have lots of knowledge. I can't think of a better way to spend my life :)
I hope to see lots of writings about what you plan to do!
Na verdade meus planos são: ser feliz, mas não ser desesperado pela felicidade, porque nem tudo que fazemos para ser feliz, nos traz realmente felicidade. Ter bons e verdadeiros amigos para compartilhar os momentos, bons e ruins, é algo que também pretendo fazer da minha vida, e descobrir coisas novas é claro rs isso é muito gostoso e saudável. Adoro aprender, mas principalmente sobre novas línguas e culturas. E o mais importante para ser feliz é buscar a Deus todos os dais da minha vida procurando ser grato, Jesus nos ama e nos propõe uma vida plena e melhor.
I agree with you, Rachel! I think the best way to live the life is doing what you want, loking for your development. The good of the life is look for back and not regret. Therefore, you must make your best all days, make good friendships, who help me in the bad moments and conclude with me the good moments.
I want to be happy the most of time, because I know to be happy all time is impossible!
To begin with, I think that good things come to those who act. If you want to reach something in your life, you really need to make the necessary effort. Systematically speaking, after having a detailed picture and gathering enough data about your future or life dream, you typically need to work as soon as possible and try to find a success path that shall lead you to your goal. As we all know, a goal is a long-term objective. Many objectives can guide you to one major goal. The objectives are known steps that will take you toward your goal or dream. Now, you need to fuel you intrinsic motivation and direct your attention. Indeed, you have to increase your strenght and decrease your weakness. Last but not least, I think that everyone is wonderful in his/her own uniqueness. We only need to shake the dust off our back.
"Discussion about Life" sounds very, very seriously, but it does, doesn't it ? Like you wrote: we have only one chance to do our live the most exceptional as we can. We cannot be sure what will happen tomoorow. We can see some real examples of this almost every day. But I suppose that even if we are aware of this changeability and elusiveness of our life, usually we aren't able to do something important, something really over all this ordinary things. This is what on one hand scares me because I allow the thought that at the end I will have a lot to complain about my whole life, and I will find "reasons" for this, but on the other hand this situation can be regarded as a source of motivation to change something in your life. I know this could sounds contradictory a little bit, but this is what we can name "one of aspects of life".
Regards.
