What do you think is the key to getting everything you want from your life? If you had to choose one thing?

Question

that you could master to have a great quality of life, what would it be? And a part 2 to the question; do you think it's possible to achieve absolute happiness and total fulfillment in your life despite the most terrible of circumstances? I'm just curious to see what people's views are on this matter.

Answer 1

In my view, the key to success lies in the combination of good physical appearance (beauty opens doors) and audacity. In the country I live (somewhere in Europe) good manners, personality and good education count for little.
Personally I never managed to fulfil my dreams and the last 15 years I achieve my goals with enormous difficulty….., but I still keep an optimistic approach to life as “you never know what the future holds”.
I can’t overcome all obstacles in my life but I know how to control my negative feeling and restrain my anger.(However I’m afraid that anger that you don’t express to others can become anger that turn against yourself).
Also self-knowledge helps me solve socio-psychological problems as my willpower is not iron.
I believe, the ideal life is not feasible.I have not the spiritual power to stay calm in calamities,and to attain perfection requires at least job stability , good health and mental clarity.
The will to live is the more powerful instinct.Until we’re in danger of losing our lives we hardly know that it exists.

Answer 2

My life, as with most people , has been filled with barriers that have suspended my growth to the quality of life I want. The key word is "quality".

My goal is to make @ least $10 million and do what President Carter and his wife are doing. Building houses for the needy. First I want to get married and have more children.

How will I acheive this goal? It has to start with selling my house. I still live with my family because we have had 2 house fires and we need to stick together for the mean time to take care of each other financially. We live on a property that is worth at least $1 million and we owe $1/4 million. We will split the profits by 1/4 each.

Then I plan to make investments in Real Estate, go to Law School, eventually buy a Bar, (very lucrative in Vegas w/Poker machines) and go from there.

Most of what I want to do after I sell my house is spend time LEARNING different subjects, whether it's at the University, hiring a professiional, going to a trade school, or reading and using different types of media.

I won't know how satisfied with my life for another 20 or so years.

Right now, I'm doing what it takes to get there.

Answer 3

The key is to imagine heaven on Earth, and then make it! I personally have 3 ideals for myself: edification, empathy, and love. Edification because one has to be first of all apprised of the situations we face, and has to have the intelligence and knowledge to contribute. Empathy, because the only true way to understand is to identify oneself with the object of his contemplation. With empathy, one can KNOW things that previously have only reflected of man's prosaic instruments. Love, because that is the force which holds a man to his destiny, or his goal. I talk not of the love induced by mere circumstance, nor of a simple bond between mortals, for although that is a heavenly force, it cannot match with the love which possesed great men like Buddha, or Muhammed, or Jesus or others. A love where one can go astray according to society, and find something that truly signifies happiness. If I can accomplish these things that would be my heaven on :Earth and would be everything I could get from life.

In general, for everyone, I feel that that the best path, or key to getting everything you want from life is to first visualize a fantasy position in life, like for example imagine yourself in your dream job, your perfect wife, etc. and then throught out ur life just work towards that.

I think it is possible to achieve absolute happiness and total fulfillement in your life despite the most terrible circumstances becasue, remember, it is the most invaluable things in life that sometimes possess the mose valuable things. All we have to do is look at some of the greatest men that ever existed on this world, and look at the hardships they faced, and we can see that it is possible indeed to accomplish things despite whatever terrible circumstances you are faced with.

Answer 5

I think to have a positive outlook is the key!
I cannot change yesterday, it is but a memory.
I cannot worry about tomorrow, for it is not here. I can only change today, for it is within my power. It is very important to have a positive outlook. I have had a very rough year, as has my own children. Last November I had major surgery. Ended up with a post op infection, then Jan 2 found out I had Lobe pneumonia.( got it at the hospital.) At this time I was also dealing with my dad dying of Renal failure, and watched him fade away and die on Jan. 9th. I was with him.
About a month after his funeral, I had a relapse of pneumonia and one of my younger boys started having night terrors. In March my Grandma had a stroke. She passed away in May. I was with her when she passed. So two deaths in 4 mths. Dealing with Vulture relatives with her estate etc. My son that had night terrors has recently gone for a CAT scan and EEG. No results yet. And believe it, I still keep a positive outlook and find a positive in all things. It has been a blessing to be like this with all we have had to deal with in eight months.

Answer 6

There is no key for something that has no lock. Mastery over the Judgment in the human, this humans mind, realizing its positive application is a fidelity worthy for membership. The most terrible of circumstances is unfulfilled, hopelessness for perfection, but perhaps not hopeless for species survival (family and the universal humanity). Survival and for its end has no possibility for absolute happiness, only tolerable conditions in which humans may live sufficiently happily together, i.e. civil society.


The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

Answer 7

There was a time when I wanted a Chevy Blazer. I was a kid and I thought that was the coolest car ever. I rapidly got over that desire. I also wanted to be a rap artist. I did a few shows and quickly lost that desire as well. Now it has gotten to a point where I do not want much. The transitory nature of things is all too evident to me. So getting everything I wanted would still leave me unfulfilled. I am at an impasse in my life right now. Not only are material good transitory, so are human beings. Since everything outside of us is in continual flux our only hope for fulfillment must come from within. Learn to love yourself, for that matter, just take the time to learn yourself. Happiness is found within. A prisoner in a soviet gulag who has found internal happiness is better off than a millionaire in the Hamptons who searches for happiness in possessions.

i be responsive to the way you experience yet no longer something in existence is easy. as quickly as you get into the swing of issues it is going to become somewhat much less complicated. creating wealth is not at all person-friendly. you could flow to college and get an education with the intention to make a residing.

Many roads lead to Rome so I will choose my favourite. Understanding exactly how the universal law of attraction works 100% of the time consciously or unconsciously is the key to getting everything one wants. In my case since you askfor a personal answer and since I already have that factor under my belt, the key for me is to discover what it is that exists out there in the world that I can choose for my personal preferences or desires. If I don't have any idea what it is like to go on a Mediterrean cruise, it is rather difficult to have very positive thoughts about one. It would be impossible if I had no idea that cruise ships even exist, right? By opening my eyes to our wonderful world, educating my tastes, meeting new people and finding out what their desires and discoveries are, my wants continue to expand and change and THAT my friends is what we are here for. Tally Ho!

Answer 10
