Life is considered to be the greatest thing that happened to all of us. Most of us are occupied and pre-occupied with our own lives. We don’t have that much time nor feel the need to be immersed in our society and environment that we live in. The world is influenced by a few good people who have really known the path to achieve an abundant life.
One of the most fundamental key I found in reference to the abundant life is to enjoy the season that you are living in. Rain or shine; hot or snowy, get out of the house and walk in your world. You may live in the quiet country or in a bustling city, it matters not. Get out and walk.
Taking a short walk every day, while it is great exercise for the body, it can be even more beneficial for your attitude.
Whether you live in a natural setting, that is where there are open fields or trees, rabbits or robins, really does not matter. You can even find inspiration walking along a busy avenue of shoppers and street vendors. The idea here is to soak up as much of your environment as possible by observing every little detail.
Look at everything.
In the country, what do you see, hear, and smell? Is there summer greenery or the sun sparkling off mounds of snow? What smells are in the air? Do you smell flowers, grass, corn stalks growing or a wood burning fireplace?
What sounds do you hear? Do you feel the wind, hear birds calling to each other, hear the hooves of horses as they trot through the pasture, and listen to the crunch of snow beneath your feet?
In the city, what is around you? Do you notice that Deli you never noticed before? Go inside. Smell the myriad of odors from the various meats and cheeses and from the special breads. Ask the deli clerk about some of them. What are they? How do they taste?
Are they tart, bitter, sweet, salty? Buy a sampling and surprise your taste buds! On the street, notice the signs, billboards, window displays. What do they say or sell?
Notice the people walking along. Are they in a hurry? Are they just strolling along like you? Are there couples holding hands? Is this a mother strolling with her baby? Or is there an elderly gentleman sitting alone at a sidewalk cafe’?
These are all signs, country or city, of the abundant world you are a part of that is yours to enjoy as part of your life’s experience.
