Learn to find joy in every task. I remember reading someone that proposed even doing something like dishes should be enjoyed in the moment. Think about it. Hot clean soapy water. Bubbles and scent and the sound of running water as you rinse a dish. Is there sun shining in the window? Music playing in the background? No matter the task there is something that can be appreciated. Dirty dishes mean food to eat and full bellies and a contented family. Running water and the convenience of just being able to turn a tap means convenience and time saving. All this from a simple usually disliked chore. Thanks for your insight IDI and sharing.

Thanks Raynok for this original post. If there were no restrictions on your life I’m sure you could find adrenaline in a satisfying way. Only your imagination would be your limit. For example, you could volunteer for an organization who goes to foreign countries and provides aid. Would be fulfilling and I’m sure there would be some adrenaline involved in going to some of these places and dealing with crisis. But that may not be what you want. So perhaps try and think of what else you want out of how you spend your time earning a living. And your time away from work. I think I’ve joked about sky diving before! But seriously, it’s a big question on how to live a satisfying life. It’s good that we are thinking about it. I used to just react to life. Now I try and plot a bit more of a course.
