How to enjoy life is relevant at any stage of life. In fact, once we are able to zone in on the essence of this the quicker we will align with what is most important to us.
We all have dreams and goals that all are different avenues to the same destination. All of us want to be happy and satisfied with our lives and the contribution that we are making.
This is not rocket science by any means. In fact, it’s the simplicity of this that puzzles us.
“Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.”
How to Enjoy Life on a Daily Basis
When things are going our way it is relatively easy to enjoy the moment and feel good about ourselves. But life is more like a roller coaster and can be unpredictable.
It is at these times that we are challenged to be our best regardless of circumstances. Ironically, these are the times we grow the most and develop the inner strength to handle even bigger challenges.
Enjoying life on a daily basis is then a choice that is totally dependent on our mindset.
We learn to be the driver and not the vehicle. We choose our destination and learn to enjoy the ups and downs of the journey.
“Life is like a roller coaster, live it, be happy, enjoy life.”
Without this foundation based on being the cause and not the effect of our lives, we are surrendering our power as well as weakening our ability to create the lives we most desire.
Once we are able to welcome the uncertainty and develop the confidence that we can respond effectively to any circumstance, not only do we enjoy life more, but we have empowered ourselves to actually enjoy and welcome the unpredictability of life.
Once we let go of our resistance to life, we do enjoy life on a daily basis while discovering strengths and abilities that we had never previously envisioned that we possessed.
What Truly Resonates with Us?
At this point, we are much more aware of our inner needs and desires, and less influenced by all the distractions and noise provided by our current world of technology.
We are more concerned with where we are going based on our inner intuitive urges than we are with what our favorite social media platform is chatting about.
By discovering what resonates with our desires we stay on track to enjoy the journey toward our goals and objectives. Roadblocks are merely temporary inconveniences that may require a detour or some creative thought.
How to Enjoy Life When Things Get Messy
This is when things get very interesting and we have our greatest opportunity to develop our inner strength. Rather than head in the other direction or completely avoid the issue, the ideal approach is to meet the challenge or problem head-on.
We then discover that all the fear and anxiety were caught up in the “anticipation” of what may happen, and not the actual event. Actually, we will find the actual event rather stimulating and we will often be pleasantly surprised by how creative we can be in handling both minor and major challenges.
If we get to a point of not knowing what to do, it is best to slow down, take a break, and don’t do anything. By staying present in the moment we will eventually get our “marching orders” through some aspect of our intuition.
Instead of panic, we are filled with exhilaration and increased confidence in displaying the courage to hang in there and face the music so to speak. We then suddenly realize the value of living with the uncertainty.
Pretending Not to Care
When we avoid things our default attitude and stance are pretending not to care one way or the other. Of course, we are lying to ourselves, but that is easy to do when surrendering to fear.
It is more important for us to feel safe than to be happy. When we “believe” our survival is threatened in any way we will sacrifice our happiness in order to avoid any threatening situation.
So it is not surprising at all to find ourselves saying one thing but thinking and feeling something entirely the opposite.
The saying that “the truth will set us free” is much more than some nice slogan, but it is the key to releasing us from our self-sabotage and betrayal. No matter how good a job we do at pretending, at some level we “know” the truth.
With enough awareness, we can become conscious enough to actually choose whether we want to continue to avoid the issue or decide to face our fears directly. When we do face our fears, we are pleasantly surprised that the only power they possess is what we unwittingly have given to them all along.
Finding the Answer to How to Enjoy Life
Now it’s time to let go a bit, relax, and access the intuitive part of ourselves. This is the part of us that is not hoodwinked into believing things based on false data. It is not designed to avoid but rather to extend and expand the truth about ourselves.
Let’s begin by asking ourselves a simple question to get the process started.
“How can we enjoy life and contribute most to others and the world in general?”
Now let’s see what a little bit of intuitive poetry brings up.
How To Enjoy Life
– Regardless of the ups and downs
Solutions are available
To turn things around
.– Enjoy the good, the bad, and the in-between
The words are just labels
It’s not what they mean
– Life is Now
And always has been
Our enjoyment of living
Doesn’t depend on a “win”
– Winners and losers
Do not exist
We merely wander through life
Confused by the mist
– There does come a time
When the fog disappears
We are then pleasantly greeted
By the Light that was always there
– Enjoying life is a choice
Which is easy to forget
Too many distractions
On which to fret
– Our fears
Keep us trapped
In an imaginary way
With a little understanding
There’s a new Self to portray
– Fear or Love
Has always been the choice
It is our Self who really knows
It’s time to rejoice
– When we awaken from the dream
It becomes abundantly clear
That we can enjoy life
As there is nothing to fear.

The key takeaway is that life is now and there is no reason to wait. Enjoyment of life takes place each and every moment regardless of circumstances.
With enough clarity, we realize that we are the dreamer and not the dream. We determine our destiny each moment.
I look forward that we take this to heart and that the enjoyment of life is our default way of living. Let’s embrace our power in the present moment and realize that it’s “All Good” right here and right now.
Enjoy and appreciate the moment,
Joseph William

Thank you for sharing how to enjoy life, every single day!
I believe that happiness has to come within. You cant tie your happiness to anything external… also you can’t say you’ll only be happy when…
That’s why practicing gratitude is important.
Staying in the present moment and not think about anything else will help a lot!
Thank you, Lorenz. I very much appreciate your thoughts and comments.
